NEOLOGISM PROCESSES ON ROWLING’S Fantastic Beast. Wahyu Prabowo; 157010052

Thispaperis entitled “Neologisms processes on Rowling’s Fantastic Beast.” The purpose of this studyis to find out the neologisms and word-formation processes in the Fantastic Beast novel that are writtenby JK Rowling. To collecting and analyzing the neologisms with the classifications, the writer use,“Word-formation in English” by Ingo Plag, published on 2003. For the process that not brought up inPlag’s book,“The Terminology in Making Words in English” by Magnus Ljung, published in 2003will be considered. The main data is collected from Fantastic Beast book, and found the total data thathas been collected are 45 words of magical creature to be analized. There are 4 types of word-formation that occur in the Fantastic Beast book. These are loan words with total 22 words,andanalized the loan word with the syllable of the words that contain in the book with the original words.Compounds with total 16 words, derived words with total 4 words, and the last affixations with total 3words. The arguments why the distribution looks this way could be that the semantic meaning ofFantastic Beast magical creature words is important and that many of the neologisms are based onhumour, mythology, and folklore. JK Rowling’s background as a French graduate and her teachingexperience explain why a significant part of the neologisms have a French influence. She alsoimagines the wizards using Latin, which therefore is also a reason being the source for many of theneologisms.Keywords: Fantastic Beast, Neologisms, Word-Formation,Magical Creatur
