Morphological Process ofDevayan: An Analysis of Morphological Tipology

Abstract

Purpose-This study aims to determine the roles of technology trough digital democracy in younger generation's political education. Design/Methodology/Approach-The language is analyzed using the theory of generative morphology which is developed by Morris Hale, Aronoff, Scalise, and Dardjowidjojo. The basic theory is the word formation through affixation process. Findings-It is found that Devayan belongs to agglitunative-type language. Therefore, this language forms its words using prefixes, infixes, and suffixes by managing the process of morphemes compounding in order to get actual and potential words. Potential word formation is classified as language units that do not exist in reality. Research Limitations/Implications-This research limits the scope of attention only on the morphological process. Originality/Value-The findings can be used as references for those concerns in the revitalization of this minority language in the effort of composing a dictionary of Devayan.
