FOR A MAN NAMED SOMEONE
by Nini Rukmini (A 121 10 09)

For you, a man named someone
The orange moon’s quiet and no result
Whispering to your heart
Singing a nice melody
Bring a love verse and even it screams
Misery, just misery in the silence
Come on man, put your frozen face in the back
Because the orange moon so sick and tired in bending knee
Now, it has been break at all
Alives without greeting and dies with no farewell
For you, a man named someone
The orange moon’s ready to gives up

Derivation and Inflection

A.   DERIVATION

Derivation is the process of creating a new word out of one or more old words, either by adding a prefix or suffix or by compounding.

·         "Morphology may be divided into derivation--rules that form a new word out of old words, likeduckfeathers and unkissable--and inflection--rules that modify a word to fit its role in a sentence, what language teachers call conjugation and declension."(Steven Pinker, Words and Rules: The Ingredients of Language. Basic Books, 1999)

·         "Derivational morphology studies the principles governing the construction of new words, without reference to the specific grammatical role a word might play in a sentence. In the formation of drinkable from drink, or disinfect from infect, for example, we see the formation of new words, each with its own grammatical properties. "(David Crystal, How Language Works. Overlook Press, 2005)

·         "Derivational prefixes do not normally alter the word class of the base word; that is, a prefix is added to a noun to form a new noun with a different meaning.

a.     patient: outpatient

b.     group: subgroup

c.      trial: retrial

·           Derivational suffixes, on the other hand, usually change both the meaning and the word class; that is, a suffix is often added to a verb or adjective to form a new noun with a different meaning:

a.     Adjective = dark      darkness

b.     Verb =  agree       agreement

c.      Noun = friend     friendship"

B.   INFLECTION

Inflection is a process of word formation in which items are added to the base form of a word to express grammatical meanings. Inflection in English include

·         The genitive ‘s

·         The plural –s

·         The third person singular –s

·         The past tense –d, -ed, or –t

·         The negative participle ‘nt: -ing forms of verb

·         The comparative –er

·         The superlative –est

Example of Inflection

Book        Books (plural marker)

Write       Writes (third person singular)

Book        Booked (past marker)

Small       Smaller / Smallest (comparative/superlative)

Mother, a poem

Written By:  Tri fatmawati

MOTHER 

 

Mother, you are like the sun that irradiates the earth

You are like the dew in the morning which cool the world

you are like  the stars and moon that light in the darkness

and you are like the diamond that is very  worth in my life

        when my first step leave  you, I look at  your eyes

tears and the rainbow which is very beautiful

sentences by sentences that you say 

I make it to be pearl in my heart

One hundred, one  thousand, one million, moreover the tears  and sweat that you have given to me in your pray

I cannot respond to all of those...

Mother, I always keep your message in a box of my heart...

I promise you, that I will achieve the beautiful castle on the top of the mountain that is very high.....

            Mother,because of you I’ll do everything

            and  I’ll make a nice smile in your face

             thank you for all of  things

            You are my everything
