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

Abstract

Online restaurant reviews have become an important source of information in shaping customer perceptions and influencing dining decisions in digital platforms such as Google Maps. However, there is still limited linguistic analysis focusing on how evaluative meanings are constructed within these reviews, particularly in terms of Appreciation and Judgement. This study aims to analyze how Appreciation and Judgement are realized in Google Maps restaurant reviews in the Marina Bay Area, Singapore. This research employs a qualitative descriptive design using qualitative content analysis guided by Systemic Functional Linguistics, specifically the Appraisal Theory proposed by Martin and White (2005), to interpret evaluative meanings in naturally occurring restaurant reviews. The data consist of 16 selected restaurant reviews collected from Google Maps and analyzed based on attitudinal resources. The findings show that Appreciation is predominantly used to evaluate food quality, ambience, and overall dining experience, while Judgement is mainly directed toward staff behavior and service performance. Positive evaluations are more frequently expressed compared to negative ones, indicating generally favorable customer experiences. The findings contribute to the application of Appraisal Theory in digital tourism discourse by demonstrating how evaluative language systematically constructs customer perceptions of food, service, and dining experiences in location-specific restaurant reviews.
