In The Bussiness Section Of The Jakarta Post Digital. Thesis, Language And
Literature Study Program, Post Graduate Programe Of Wijaya Putra University
Of Surabaya. Advisor: Yeni Probowati, S.Pd.
Key words : Regular Plural Noun, Allomorph
This study focused on the study word formation processes on morpheme,
especially on the regular plural noun allomorph with regard to the fact that a
language always change and develops. The development of language has received
great deal of influee in its vocabulary and also language that used in news report
become compatibly more advance. The writer wants to conduct research on the
Business of the Jakarta Post Digital. In this research the writer used Francis
Katamba and George Yule theory. The source of the data is taken from the
Business section of the Jakarta Post Digital. To know the whether the regular
plural noun allomorph form and pronunce, the writer used internet, Oxford
dictionary, and the book that explore about allomorph, especially about regular
plural noun allomorph.
In the thesis , the writer found three types of different pronunciation of
the regular plural noun allomorph from the data. First, the regular plural noun
allomorph that sound /ɪz/, the writer got 6 nouns. Second, the regular plural noun
allomorph that form sound /s/, the writer got 34 nouns from the data. The last,
regular plural noun allomorph that sound /z/, the writer got 54 nouns. Because of
the theory that used by the writer is limited, the writer just found some examples
pronunciation of the regular plural allomorph, so that’s way the writer suggest to
the other research has more complete theory.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
Language is one of linguistics object that have some of definition,
such as communication tool and interaction araound the people, beside it
people using language to their act of traditional culture. Because language
cannot separated from people and culture. That is the unique of language,
so it was right when the language called as twice face , beside determined
by the user, language also determine the way of people thinking ( Samsuri
: 1985 : 10 ). Through the language the culture of people be able to built,
growth and descending to their new generations. So, in a country must
have one language or national language which could be undersanding by
each other. Such as in Indonesia which consist of many island Sumatra,
Java, Kalimantan, Bali, and many more where each island or region have
their own mother language which differ each other. So Indonesia
determine Indonesian language to be national language which have a
function as communication tool inside the citizen in Indonesia, this
purpose in order to not appear misconseption between people in a
communication. Based on (Bonvillain, Nancy 1993 : 43) where the culture
models are based on people’s ideas about the area they live in, and they
express in several ways and language is a key to their transmission.
1
2
Beside as a communication interaction, language also have other
definition, based on (http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/bahasa) A system to
show a noun, an action, an option and condition. An istrument which used
to show a real concept a society to the others one thinking. A code that
used by the linguistic science to make the different of form and meaning.
A system in speaking which will be understand by liguistic’s community.
From the definition above can conclude that based definition of the
language is communication, where the language can be analize from many
component, such as : Sound of the language, Grammar of the language,
and Vocabulary of the language. Sound of the language is the way to
produce of seporate alphabet with symbols which represent sounds, such a
set of symbols does exist and is called the phonetic alphabet, the symbols
are used to represent both the consonant and vowel sound of english word
and what physical aspect of the human vocal tract are involved in the
production of those sounds ( Yule, George: 33). Grammar of language is a
way of describing the structure of phrase and sentences which will account
for all of the gramatical sequence and rule out all the ungrammatical
sequences (Yule, George:69). Vocabulary of language is the basic of
lanuage that consist of verb, the noun and the other part of speech
( Brown, Steven and Attardo, Salvatore: 2000:322). From the explanation
above the writer conclude that, pronunciation is a way how a word spell
clearly in a language, when grammar is a rule in a sentence structure
consist of subject, verb, object, adverb and adjective to the right structure
3
where the words conclude in the part of language as based of speaking, as
ussual called vocabulary.
The three of the components are related each other in the language
and cannot separated. But on of the three components people impress
unimportant sometimes, the component is pronunciation. Pronunciaton or
the way to sound a word, in communication or speaking it is very
important because when the word have wrong pronunciation it could
causing different meaning and appearing misconseption between speaker
and listener.
The right pronunciation could be known as well if we understand
the right transcribe of the pronunciation. The transcribe is very influence
in learning English. It influences althought in oral or written. Because if
we get the wrong transcribe, we also get the wrong pronunciation and
wrong meaning. So, it is very important to know and understand about the
right transcribe.
Although not all the different pronunciation also have different
meaning, but it important for us as in learning English well. The
pronunciation learn in Morphology and Phonology, but in this way, the
writer focused in learning Morphology about the sound of the right
transcribe which influence in the right pronunciation of the regular plural
noun allomorph. In this thesis the writer will explain about allomorph
preferably in Regular plural noun allomorph used in the Bussiness Section
of the Jakarta Post digital newspaper.
4
Allomorph are different form of the same morpheme, or basic unit
meaning. These can be different pronunciation of different spelling. As in
seemed/ simd/ the sound of the past tense is –id (simid), passed/pa:s/ the
sound of the past tense is-t, cats/ kæt/ the sound of the plural is –s,
dogs/dɒg/ the sound of plural is – z.
If different morph represent the same morpheme, they are grouped
together and they are called allomorph of that morpheme ( Francis
Katamba 1993:26). The more technical term for the variants is allomorph,
and phonological contexts are often referred to as environment(Heinle
2003: 276).
The writer analize regular plural allomorph in the Business section
of the Jakarta Post digital, because many words especialy regular plural
and past tense which use to express something that related in increased
business and business language use more popular than before. On that way
using right transcribe is influences the right pronunciation in regular plural
noun should be same with the right rules and system.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Based on the background in this thesis, the writer trying to found
the problems which appear in this analysis.
5
There are some statement of the poblem to finished in this analysis :
a. What is the regular plural noun allomorph used in Bussiness section of
the Jakarta Post Digital?
b. How to transcribe the right regular plural noun allomorph used in the
Bussiness secion of the Jakarta Post Digital?
1.3 Objective of the Study
Based on the statement of the problem , in this thesis the writer try
to:
a. To find the regular plural noun allomorph used in the Business Section
of the Jakarta Post Digital.
b. To find the right transcribe of the regular plural noun allomorph used
in the Business Section of the Jakarta Post Digital.
1.4 Significance of the Study
In the analysis of regular plural allomorph used in the Business
section of the Jakarta post, the writer want to related between theory and
practice in learning lingustics. On the theory the writer wish more
understand about Morpheme especialy on Allomorph about regular plural
that always find in every communication. The writer make this analized
because many people and students think the transcribe of regular plural
6
almost same without any differ of sounds and not influence the right
pronunciation.
Every words which belong to regular plural have different
pronunciation and transcribe. This determined through phonetic alphabet
or symbol in every single word. On the regular plural the words sound /-s/,
/-z/, /-iz/ if it sound in certain phonetic symbols before. If people or
speaker did not know about the different maybe regular plural noun
allomorph belived it was unimportant, but on its reality this is very
important to us, when we communication each other. It easier when we
know about the rules of its right transcribe which show the pronunciation.
Especialy when find a new word, we know the pronunciation to speech it
exactly.
On the practice, this research will explain about definition of
morpheme, allomorph, the regular plural noun allomorph which find in the
Business section of the Jakarta Post digital.
1.5 Scope and Limitation
In this thesis, the writer focused in analized of Morphology,
preferably morpheme and allomorph of the regular plural noun. The writer
examine regular plural noun which find in the Business section of the
Jakarta Post Digital. The writer used some of books to looking the
definition of allomorph on the regular plural noun, the writer used the
7
dictionary to get more definition about the allomorph and also internet for
more explanation.
1.6 Definition of the Key Terms
To avoid misunderstanding between the writer and the reader, it is
really important to give the definition of some key terms. The terms are:
1.6.1 Allomorph
Allomorph is different form of the same morpheme, or basic unit
meaning. These can be different pronunciation of different spelling.
1.6.2 Nouns
Nouns are a part of speech typically denoting a person, place,
thing, animal or idea.
1.6.2.1 Regular Plural Noun
The plural is the form of a verb, pronoun, noun, etc., used when
talking or writing about something of which there as more than one. The
regular plural form is made by the addition of an -s inflection to the end of
the word.
CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
In this chapter, the writer will review about concerning related with
literature preferably about Morpheme, Allomorph and Regular Plural Noun
Allomorph.
2.1 Morpheme
Morphology is the study of word stucture. The claim that words have
structure might come as a surpriser because normally speakers think a word as
indivisible units of meaning. Many English ords are Morphologycaly complex.
They can be broken down into smaller units that are meaningful.
The units of minimal gramatical called morpheme. In the morphology, we
know word as a unit that analized as a morpheme or more ( A.M. Tata : 73).
Morpheme is the smallest gramatical meaning. With the smallest words
mean unit it cannot analized become smaller without change its meaning (Abdul
Chaer 2008 : 13). A word may consist of one or more morphemes. So, the
morpheme is the smallest gramatical unit of meaning. A unit of language is
acomposit between shape and meaning. So, to pattern a single of shape is
morpheme or not based in the shape criteria and its meaning. Actually morpheme
made up of abstract thing because there wasn’t in concept.
The term morpheme is used to refer to the smallest, indivisible units of
semantic content or grammatical function which words are made up of.
8
9
Morpheme can be composed to pieces of logo that can be reuse as building blocks
to form different words (Francis Katamba 1993 : 20)
The morpheme is the smallest different in the shape of a word that
correlates with the smallest different in words or sentences meaning or in
grammatical structure.
The definition of morpheme is ‘a minimal unit of meaning or grammatical
function’(George Yule 2006 : 63). The different types of morphemes is :
Lexical (child, teach)
free
Functional (and, the)
morphemes
Derivational (re-,-ness)
bound
Inflectional (-‘s, -ed)
The analysis of words into morphemes begins with the isolation of
morph. A morph is a physical form representing some morpheme in a language. It
is arecurrent distictive sound (phoneme) or sequence of sounds (phonemes).
Morphs as the actual forms used to realized morphemes. Id different morphs
represent the same morpheme, they are grouped together and they are called
allomorph.
10
The relationship between morpheme, morph and allomorph can be
represent following this way:
Morpheme
Past tense
allomorph
allomorph
allomorph
Morph
Morph
Morph
/ɪd/
/d/
/t/
2.2 Allomorph
Allomorph is the concrete shape in the speech act and other realition
from its morpheme (Abdul Chaer 2008 : 15). So, as realisation from that
morpheme, this allomorph is real. Generaly a morpheme only have an allomorph.
But, there are also morpheme which realisation in some of allomorph shapes.
Different from the morpheme, allomorph is more concrete, although it is not
always absolute and need to segmental form ( A.M. Tata : 77).
The phonologycal contexs in which each variant of the morpheme is
known to occur the more technical term for the variants is allomorph, and
phonological contexts are often refered to as environment (Victoria Fromkin,
Robert Rodman, Nina Hyams 2002 : 276).
11
If different morphs represent the same morpheme, they are grouped
together and they are called allomorphs of that morpheme ( Francis Katamba
1993:26 ).
There were allophones of a particular phoneme, it can recognize the
existence of ‘allomorph’ of a particular morpheme. That is, when we find a group
of different morphs, all versions of one morpheme, we can use the prefix ‘allo-‘ (=
one of a closely related set ) and describe them as allomorphs of that morpheme (
George Yule 2006 : 67 ).
Based on the definition above, it may concluded that allomorphs are
different form of the same morpheme, or basic unit of meaning. These can be
different pronunciations or different spellings. In linguistics, an allomorph is
variant form of a morpheme. The concept occurs when a unit of meaning can vary
in sound without changing meaning. The term allomorph explains the
comprehension of phonological variations for specific morphemes.
If a morpheme has several allomorphs, the choice of allomorph used in a
given context is normally phonologically conditioned ( Francis Katamba 1993 :
28 ). This means that the allomorph selected to represent the morpheme in a
particular context is one whose phonological properties are similiar to those of
sounds found in a neighbouring allomorph of some other morpheme. Sometimes
allomorphs may be gramatically conditioned or even lexically conditioned. A
particular grammatical element or a particular word is present.
12
Ocationaly there is suppletion, which means that an allomorph bears no
phoenetic similarity to other allomorphs of the same morpheme (Francis Katamba
1993 : 39 ). The other way is where allomorphs of a morpheme are phonetically
unrelated. This is an extreme form of allomorph in which two completely
different roots realize the same morpheme.
Allomorph are the variations of different pronunciation of a mopheme.
For instance, the morpheme plural-s has the standart /s/ sound in cats, but in dogs
the morpheme become /z/ sound. One allomorph of a morpheme cannot replace
by another allomorph of that morpheme and change meaning. Allomorphs can
change the form and pronunciation without changing the meaning of the word.
The plural morpheme is realized by a phonologically condition
allomorph. On the next explanation, the writer will explain about the regular
plural noun allomorph.
2.3 Regular Plural Noun Allomorph
The regular plural have been explained before on the phonologically
condition of allomorph. In this section, the writer will explain about the pattern of
how to determined the pronunce of regular plural noun allomorph.
In a common the pattern of all regular plural is same including in noun
and verb. Some of the variation in the pronunciation of the plural morpheme is
13
easy to hear and is reflected in how the plural forms are spelled. If listen closely,
the following variation in the pronunciation of the english plural noun morpheme.
The actual forms of the morphs that result from the morpheme plural
noun are different. Yet, they are all allomorphs of the one morpheme. So, in
addition to-s and –es, another allomorph of plural in english seems to be a zero
morph because the plural form of sheep is actualy ‘sheep + θ’. Whe we look at
‘man + plural’, we have a vowel change in the word (æ
ɛ) as the morph that
produces the so-called irregular plural form men ( George Yule 2006 : 67 ).
Normaly the plural morpheme is realized by a phonologically
conditioned allomorph whose distribution is stated in ( Francis Katamba 1993:30):
a. Select allomorph /-ɪz/ if a noun ends in an alveolar or alveolar palatal
sibilant ( i.e a consonant with a sharp, hissing sound, such as /s z ʃ Ʒ tʃ dʒ/).
Examples :
asses
mazes
matches
/æsɪz/
/meɪzɪz/
/mætʃɪz/
b. Select allomorph /-s/ if a noun ends in a non-strident voiceless consonant
( i.e any one of the sounds / p t k f θ /).
Examples :
cups
leeks
carts
/kᴧps/
/li:ks/
/kɑ:ts/
c. Select allomorph /-z/ elsewhere ( i.e if the noun ends in a voiced
nonstrident segment : this includes all vowels and the consonants / b d g d
m n y l r w j / ).
14
Examples :
bards
mugs
rooms
/ bɑ:dz/
/mᴧgz/
/ru:mz/
The regular plural noun allomorphy is conditioned by the final segment
of the singular form ( Victoria Fromkin, Robbert, Nina, 2002: 227)
Allomorph

b d g v ŏ m n η l r a ɔj ( voiceless nonsibilant segment)

2.4 The Related Study
The writer analized about right pronunciation transcribe of regular plural
noun allomorph which found in the Bussiness section of the Jakarta Post digital
because the writer want to know more about the right transcribe of pronunciation
in the regular plural which always find in conversation, newspaper, entertaiment,
etc. The writer do this analysis because there are author that have been wrote and
analized about Morphology of word formation proses especialy in acronym
process which found in the Bussiness section of the Jakarta Post, the writer of that
thesis is Inarni, she was graduated student of Wijaya Putra University 2009.
The writer took the work of Inarni because there are related study about
her thesis with the writer analized now, the relation is both of the thesis explain
15
about study of Morphology and the data take from the daily newspaper of the
Jakarta Post in Bussiness section. But between work of Inarni and the writer there
are differensiation , those are Inarni analized about the process of acronyms and
the writer analized about the transcribe of regular plural noun allomorph.
CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHOD
The writer will explain used of the method or the way to analized, collect,
and the way to get the data as references.
