Abstract

This study aimed to find the underlying form of the prefixes in-, im-, il-, ir- and morphological processes occurring in the complex words containing those prefixes. The researchers focus on the negation, meaning only words with a prefix that changes the initial meaning of the root word into a negative meaning are qualified. Descriptive analysis was employed. Seventy qualified words from the Oxford English Dictionary were chosen to be analysed. The researchers formulated two research questions: (1) What is the underlying form of the prefixes in-, im-, il-, and ir-? and (2) What morphological processes occurred in the complex words containing prefixes in-, im-, il-, and ir-? The findings showed that the prefix in- is the underlying form of those prefixes seen from the lenses of morphology and phonology. Further, affixation is a morphological process that occurs in complex words containing those prefixes. This study contributes to shaping a better understanding of the prefix in- and its assimilated forms for English educators and language learners. Implications are discussed.

Ten stories of British Council LearnEnglish Kids were chosen to be analysed. The objective is to interpret the figurative language into the literal meanings, aiding young readers’ understanding. Descriptive qualitative as a method to write the findings and document analysis as an approach to analyse the data were employed to address the research question. In total, twenty-six figurative language were found in ten printed British Council LearnEnglish Kids stories.

The figurative language found were eighteen personifications, six hyperboles, one irony, and one apostrophe. Personification is the predominant type of figurative language. This study contributes to help readers, particularly young readers to understand the figurative language available in the stories provided by British Council LearnEnglish Kids website.
