B. Suggestion Based on the explanation of this paper, we hope that all of theaudience can get the point and more understand about generative morphology furthermore it can be applied in our daily life especiallyin learning morphology. GENERATIVE MORPHOLOGY 1. The Principles of Generative Morphology According to Chomsky (1965:39), the principles or the assumptions underlying generative transformational grammar ingeneral and generative morphology in partikular can stated as follows: First, generative transformational grammar is the theory of competence. Competence is the native speakers knowlegde of his language, while performance is the real use of language by the native speaker in real situations. Second, language is creative and innovative. The native speaker is able to generate and understand new sentences or to make judgments concerning their grammaticality. Third, generative transformational grammar is a set of the rules which give structural descriptions to sentences. Fourth, language is a mirror of mind. By studying a language in detail, we will know inherent features of human mind. 2. Basic Concepts of Generative Morphology a. Competence and Performence Competence is the idealized conception of language, considered as the opposite of performance, that is, special utterances of sspoken language. According to Bechert et.al, competence covers the following abilities:

The ability to generate and understand the infinite numbers of sentences The ability ti determind whether an utterance or expression belongs to the language concerned The ability to give meanings to utterance or expression belong in a certain language The ability to the determine the level of derivation from those utterances The ability to determine the different kinds of derivation The ability to determine the identities of the expression concerning their membership on one utterance The ability to give judgments concerning the formal similarities among various utterances The ability to determine to similarities of meaning of those utterances The ability to determine the variability of meaning of an utterance.

b. Deep Structure and Surface Structure Crystal (1980:102) states that deep structure is a theoreticalterm central in generative transformational grammar, contraste dwith surface structure. Deep structure is an abstract syntactical presentation of a sentence, that is, a basic level of structural organization explaining all factors that govern the way how sentences should be interpreted. Furthermore, Crystal (1980;341) states that the surfase structure of a sentence is the final stage in the syntactical representation of a sentence, which prepare input to the phonologycal component, which is very in accord with the structure of sentence which we articulate or hear. 3. The Models of Generative Morphology and Their Organization There are two models of generative used in the word of linguistic, namely: a. A Halles Model and orgenization A Halles Model and orgenization consist of four components: List of Morpheme According to Halle, the basic unit of lexicon are morpheme. Every morpheme is indicated as a sequence of phonological segments and it is put between labeled brackets. The representation by nouns, verb and affixes for example: [home]N, [discuss]V, [-ty]Suf Word Formation Rules There are two kinds of Word Formulation Rules namely, 1) Word Formulation Rules which apply to stems and form the linear sequence stem+one or more morpheme with or without the internal structure 2) Word formulation rules which apply to words.

All word formulation rules perform a number of tasks, and have the following features: a. Word formulation rules specify sequence in which morphemes must be arranged to form words of language

b. Word formulation rules specify (i) the syntactic category of the base, example: Noun, Verb (ii) the syntactic category of the output, example: noun, verb (iii) the internal boundary in the output, example: + (iv) regular semantic information c. Word formulation rules specify the semantic and syntactic feature of the derived words that are not in accord with the features of the base d. Word formation rules operate in the same way as derivational morphology and inflectional e. Word formation rules are more powerful than phonological rules. f. Since word formation rules that create new word, than they also function to analysis the existing words.
