Abstract

Derivational affixation is a linguistic process that involves the creation of new words by adding prefixes, suffixes, or infixes to existing words. These affixes can modify the word's part of speech, alter its meaning, or both. The present study had the objective of identifying various types of derivational affixes and examining the morphological transformations they bring about in health-related terms within CNN's online news platform. Employing qualitative research methods informed by Katamba's theoretical framework (2005), the investigation utilized a dataset sourced from the news website https://edition.cnn.com/. The dataset encompassed 30 health-related news articles spanning topics such as COVID-19, mental health, food, beauty, sleep, and pregnancy. Based on data analysis from 30 health news, there were 13 words containing derivational prefixes and 64 words containing derivational suffixes. The words in derivational prefix did not change the part of speech but changed the meaning. In derivational suffixes, there are 7 types of changes that change word from verb to noun (23 words), adjective to noun (14 words), noun to noun (10 words), noun to adjective (7 words), adjective to adverb (5 words), verb to adjective (4 words), and the last noun to verb (1 word). From the findings, it can be concluded that the addition of affixes to words explains the function of sentence structure. Derivational suffixes are found the most because they have many interactions of forms, meanings, and functions. Keywords: derivational affix, health, prefix, suffix, news

CNN在线新闻中衍生词缀对健康术语的转换

派生词缀是一种语言过程，它涉及到通过在现有单词上添加前缀、后缀或中缀来创造新词。这些词缀可以修饰单词的词性，改变单词的意思，或者两者兼而有之。本研究的目的是识别各种类型的衍生词缀，并检查它们在CNN在线新闻平台中与健康相关的术语中带来的形态转换。采用卡坦巴(Katamba)的理论框架(2005)的定性研究方法，调查使用了来自新闻网站https://edition.cnn.com/的数据集。该数据集包括30篇与健康相关的新闻文章，涵盖了COVID-19、心理健康、食物、美容、睡眠和怀孕等主题。根据30篇健康新闻的数据分析，包含衍生前缀的单词有13个，包含衍生后缀的单词有64个。派生前缀中的词没有改变词性，但改变了意义。衍生后缀有7种变化类型，即从动词到名词(23个词)、形容词到名词(14个词)、名词到名词(10个词)、名词到形容词(7个词)、形容词到副词(5个词)、动词到形容词(4个词)、最后一个名词到动词(1个词)。从研究结果可以看出，词缀的添加解释了句子结构的功能。派生后缀发现最多，因为它们有许多形式、意义和功能的相互作用。关键词:衍生词缀，健康，前缀，后缀，新闻
