ABSTRACT Sandrina Riefa. 2009. Neologism in Information Technology Articles. S-1 Thesis English Department State University of Malang. Advisor Dr. Johannes Ananto Prayogo M.Pd M.Ed. Key words neologism word-formation processes Information Technology This study aims at investigating the existence of new words i.e. neologism in Information Technology (IT) articles. There are three problems that are presented in this study the classification of the new words found in the IT articles based on their part of speech the word-formation processes of such new words and also the most frequent word-formation process that is employed by such new words. The additional analysis is also presented in the last problem. The research design of this study is quantitative-descriptive and the sources of the data are new words which are defined as neologism in thirty IT articles. The articles are taken from an IT magazine PC World magazine and also an IT website www.pcmag.com. In collecting the data the researcher selected and sorted some articles in IT website and magazine that contains the new words. Such new words are then analyzed and sorted afterwards to find out which ones can be defined as neologism. The neologisms found are then analyzed using the theories of word- formation processes purposed by Plag (2003) and Yule (1985). The finding of the study is that the neologisms found in the data are mostly classified as nouns. This finding also shows that it is somewhat easier to produce a new word in the form of noun since the new word is named after a certain product. The reason why each new word is representing its own meaning and it is not created based on any IT product is also found by the researcher. The finding also reveals the word-formation processes that are frequently employed by the neologism most new words are created by combining some morphemes that have already existed before wholly (compounds) or partially (blending). This study might be helpful for the next researchers particularly Linguistics students in analyzing the phenomenon of neologism in any field other than IT since it provides an adequate way in investigating the word-formation process of neologism. The awareness of IT and media practitioners to the phenomenon of neologism is also needed since they are the ones who created and named brand new IT products. When very new words born there will be much more new vocabularies the society has.
