MID TEST – MORPHOLOGY – PBI SEMESTER 3

Answer :
1. Morphology is a branch of linguistics or linguistics that investigates the intricacies of the
internal structure of words and the effect of these structural changes on the meaning and
class of words.

2. 1) Beauty (Noun) in Indonesia means “Kecantikan” when the paired with the word
“shop”. Which means “Beauty + Shop” it means a “Toko Kecantikan”, is not a “Toko
yang cantik”.

2) Beautiful (Adj) in Indonesia means “cantik” when the paired with the word “shop”.
Which means “Beautiful + Shop” it means a “Toko yang cantik”.

3) Beautify (Verb) in Indonesia means “Mempercantik” When the assembled into


sentence such as “I beautify my room” it means “Saya mempercantik ruanganku”.

4) Beautician (Noun) in Indonesia means “Ahli Kecantikan” When the assembled into
sentence such as “I meet a beautician” it means “Saya bertemu dengan ahli kecantikan”.

5) Beautifully (Adverb of manner) in Indonesia means “Dengan Cantik” When the

mempercantik ruanganku dengan cantik”.

3. - morpheme is a morphological unit that cannot be further divided into smaller units, in
the sense that the words in a series of words have the same formal function and cannot be
subdivided.
- Root is used to refer to a form that cannot be analyzed further.
For example, the word 'untouchable', the process of forming the word 'untouchable' is the
word 'touch' which gets the prefix -un- and the suffix 'able' and the root is the word touch.
- Stem is the part of the tense that remains when all inflectional affixes are removed.
For example, the word cats that becomes the stem is cat.
4. Example of Suffixes :
1. beauty, duty + -ful → beautiful, dutiful
(-y changes to i)
2. heavy, ready + -ness → heaviness, readiness
(-y changes to i)
3. able, possible + -ity → ability, possibility
(-le changes to il)

10. Noun Classes is a system grammatical system that some languages use to overtly
categorize nouns. Noun classes are often based, at least in part, on characteristics (such as
gender, animacy, shape) of the referents of some of the nouns in each class, and
distinguished by an affix on the noun or by a clitic or word in the noun phrase, and
agreement affixes on noun phrase constituents and on the verb.
