Abstract:
This research conducts a morphological analysis of word formation processes
within CNN News selected articles. This research aims to analyze the word
formation processes in CNN news entertainment selected articles in order to
identify as well as categorize the word formation, to analyze the processes
occurrence, and to determine the dominant process within the five selected
entertainment section articles. By using the qualitative design method, the data were
analyzed using George Yule (2020) theory. This research limits the research by
only analyzing 5 selected CNN News articles from the entertainment section around
January 2025 to March 2025. The data of this research were the writing news in the
selected articles, which are sourced from CNN News entertainment section articles
and collected using systematically Miles & Huberman (1994) theory. The result
showed that there are seven words formation processes that found within the
selected article, which are 52 borrowings, 96 compoundings, 12 clippings, 15
conversions, 21 coinages, 248 derivations, and 58 multiple processes. In addition,
this process occurred by borrowing from other languages, combining two words
into one, trimming words, changing word classes, taking from well-known things,
adding affixes, and using more than one processes. Moreover, the most dominant
process was the derivation process among the other processes found.
