Abstract:
This study is about analyzing the derivational words in Annete Broadrick’s
Novel Sons of Texas: Rogues and Ranchers. In that novel, there are many
derivational words. To understand the story in that novel, we need to know the
meaning of words on that novel. Derivational words mean that there are the
addition of affixation on the root words. Before we learn about derivational words,
we need to know its morphology, the branch of linguistic which deals with words,
their forms, and their patterns; morpheme, the smaller part of the words and it can
be a root or an affix; and derivation, the changing process of part of speech of the
word because there is addition of affixes.
The aims of this research are to find out the forms of derivational
morphemes found in Annete Broadrick’s novel Sons of Texas: Rogues and
Ranchers and to describe the application of teaching grammar about derivational
morphemes.
In doing this research, the researcher uses qualitative descriptive methode.
The researcher only analyzes the data objectively, describe and interpret the data
which appear in the novel. Moreover, the researcher herself is being the
instrument of this research. In collecting the data, the researcher reads the novel,
identifies and selects derivational morphemes from the novel, categorizing and
underlining derivational morphemes from the novel, and analyzing the forms of
derivational morphemes from the novel. In analyzing the data, the researcher
make a table of derivational morphemes which is found on the novel Sons of
Texas: Rogues and Ranchers and than, classifying them into four forms. Those
are noun formation, verb formation, adjective formation, and adverb formation.
The result shows that noun formation of derivational morphemes is
36,69%; verb formation is 8,75%; adjective formation is 21,86%; and adverb
formation is 32,70%. Therefore, noun formation is the highest number, and verb
formation is the lowest number. Moreover, in teaching grammar about
derivational morphemes, the researcher explain about morphology, morpheme,
and derivation to the student, asks them to read a story and find out the
derivational morpheme on that story, and the researcher also describes the
application of teaching grammar about derivational morphemes.
