This study aims at identifying and describing the process of Word Formation in The Oprah Winfrey talkshow . This is qualitative research since the data were collected in the form of word not in number. The data is collected through by taking notes then underlining the data concerning word formation from the talkshow’s transcript. The instrument of this research were, researcher herself, and the talkshow transcript. The data were analyzed by following the steps of Miles and Huberman (1994:10-11) procedur such as data reduction, data display and conclusion drawing/verivication. The result shows that the process of word formation in The Oprah Winfrey’s talkshow contained derivation and compounding. The example of derivation are the words reader, producer, and homeless, and the example of compounding such as standout, moreover, and outside. The derivation process is mostly used rather than the compounding. It is suggested to the coming researcher to do the analysis of word formation process in another types of word formation. Keywords: Word Formation, The Oprah Winfrey Talkshow, Derivation, Compounding.

Purpose of the study: The purpose of this study is to find out the slang word-formation processes uttered by Kasino, the main character in the movie. Slang also underwent some processes in general word-formation. Methodology: The research method of this study was descriptive qualitative with content analysis. Content analysis is one of the types of qualitative research that focuses on analyzing recorded data and interpreting recorded material to learn human behavior. The data for this qualitative research were collected from the utterances produced by Kasino which contain slang words. They were obtained by watching the movie and transcribing the movie script. To analyze the processes of slang word-formation, this study consulted Mattiello’s (2008) theory. Main Findings: From the analysis, this study found 11 slangs of compounding, 16 slang of prefixation, 19 slang of suffixation, 9 slang of conversion, 9 slang of reduplicative, 2 slangs of acronym and initialism, 6 slangs of blending, 13 slangs of clipping, 98 slangs of variation, and 2 slangs of word manufactured and fanciful formation from the total of 186 data. Application of this study: The finding of this research contributes theoretically and practically for the sociolinguistic and morphology area of slang words. Theoretically, this research is expected to enrich the understanding of sociolinguistic and morphology studies, especially in slang word-formation. Practically, this research is expected to give a relevant answer into the gap based on the lack of slang word and the slang word-formation existed in Indonesian comedy movies. Novelty/Originality of this study: The different types of word-formation processes found in this research can assist readers and other researchers on the Indonesian slang word-formation processes.

This paper aims to investigate the extent to which organizational attributes are associated with the human resource disclosure of banking organizations. Content analysis is used to collect the data from annual reports available on the bank’s website and unweighted disclosure index is employed to record the score of HR items. Descriptive statistics is used to analyse the extent of HR disclosure and multiple linear regression model is carried out to analyse the impact of the determinants including length of service, size of the bank, profitability, total number of employees and total number of pages on the explained variable. The study endorses that the highest reported item is the description of the staff whereas the least reported item is the performance of the employee. The result approves that only two attributes including the profitability of the banks and the total number of pages of the annual reports are significantly and positively associated with the level of human resource disclosure of banks. But the other attributes including length of service, size of the bank and total number of employees have no significant impact on HR disclosure.

Abstract The complex characteristics of lexical blending have long troubled mainstream word formation research to the extent that it has typically been considered a peripheral issue in linguistics. In recent years this has begun to change, and there is currently a growing body of evidence uncovering the intriguing nature of this word formation process. In the present study, underlying principles and usage-based aspects of lexical blends were examined. Analyses of derivatives of three matrix words, republican, liberal, and vegetarian, revealed the impact of three cognitive constraints on the use of lexical blends: schema transfer effects, neighborhood effects, and effects of the influence from morphological lexicalization. The first constraint fueled blend formation, while the other two displayed a hampering effect on the use of lexical blending. Furthermore, a study of the word class distribution in the datasets showed that there were significant differences in the grammar of lexical blending and compounding, respectively.

Word-formation encompasses a wide range of processes, among which we find derivation and compounding, two processes yielding productive patterns which enable the speaker to understand and to coin new lexemes. This article draws a distinction between two types of constituents (suffixes, combining forms, splinters, affixoids, etc.) on the one hand and word-formation processes (derivation, compounding, blending, etc.) on the other hand but also shows that a given constituent can appear in different word-formation processes. First, it describes prototypical derivation and compounding in terms of word-formation processes and of their constituents: Prototypical derivation involves a base lexeme, that is, a free lexical elements belonging to a major part-of-speech category (noun, verb, or adjective) and, very often, an affix (e.g., Fr. laverV ‘to wash’ > lavableA ‘washable’), while prototypical compounding involves two lexemes (e.g., Eng. rainN + fallV > rainfallN). The description of these prototypical phenomena provides a starting point for the description of other types of constituents and word-formation processes. There are indeed at least two phenomena which do not meet this description, namely, combining forms (henceforth CFs) and affixoids, and which therefore pose an interesting challenge to linguistic description, be it synchronic or diachronic. The distinction between combining forms and affixoids is not easy to establish and the definitions are often confusing, but productivity is a good criterion to distinguish them from each other, even if it does not answer all the questions raised by bound forms. In the literature, the notions of CF and affixoid are not unanimously agreed upon, especially that of affixoid. Yet this article stresses that they enable us to highlight, and even conceptualize, the gradual nature of linguistic phenomena, whether from a synchronic or a diachronic point of view.

This article has two objectives. The first is to study the concepts of Competitive Intelligence and Dynamic Capabilities, aiming to verify if the stages of the competitive intelligence cycle can constitute stimulating elements for Dynamic Capabilities in organizations. The second goal is to understand how the competitive intelligence process is dealt with in medium- and large-sized companies in Brazil, grounded on opinions by specialists on the topic (scholars, researchers and consultants). For its consecution, besides the literature review on the subject, information was collected by means of in-depth interviews and, seeking triangulation of data, a comparative research was conducted on similar studies. It is a qualitative research that applies content analysis as its technique for investigation. The study supports that the routines in the stages of the competitive intelligence cycle and the abilities required for its operationalization foster the mobilization of Dynamic Capabilities in organizations. Competitive Intelligence, through a suitable development of the activities established in its phases, promotes the perception for change (sensing) and provides the necessary intelligence for the acquiring of the knowledge which will be the foundation for action (seizing), thus contributing for the continuous reinvention of the business (transforming). On the other hand, evidences suggest that Competitive Intelligence practices are still in their embryonic stages of application in Brazilian companies, and therefore need efforts for further qualification and consolidation.

Learning letters is associated with a long-term learning. Two basic models are present in obtaining letters in a systematic literacy in Slovenia and abroad. One represents a separate acquisition of the uppercase and lowercase printed letters (sequentially) and the other deals with letters simultaneously. In practice, teachers often asked themselves, especially in times of reforms in literacy, which model of the acquisition of the letters in initial literacy is more efficient. The research focused on the effect of the two most frequently chosen procedures for acquiring letters of structured literacy in Slovenia, namely the simultaneous treatment of the uppercase and lowercase printed letters (lowercase cursive letters and upper-case cursive letters) and consecutive treatment of letters (uppercase printed letters, lowercase printed letters, lowercase cursive letters, and at last, uppercase printed letters). Furthermore, the focus of the research was on the impact of gender on the ability to write. The incidence of errors was observed in terms of selected procedures for acquiring the letters in groups and gender. At the same time, the effect of consolidation of writing individual letters (uppercase and lowercase printed letters in 2nd class, and lowercase and uppercase cursive letters in 3rd class), was examined. Key words: literacy, the process of acquiring letters, 2nd class, 3rd class, prior knowledge, writing skills.

It is a fact that play, indispensible part of child in Turkish cultural and educational system, is the most effective tool to develop children’s emotional, mental, moral, social, personality and native language. In recent years, it has been seen that there is a considerable increase in the researches involving the functions of the children’s plays in respect of metaphor, as in the other parts of the plays. In this respect, play gains importance as the most effective educational tools as an educational campus for children, their peers as their teachers, natural materials like stone, sand, water and tree they use. In this study, “'Choosing rhyme -It-Playground” elements comprising traditional children’s games are handled based on pre-service teachers’ metaphorical images. In the qualitative research, content analysis of 23 metaphors the pre-service teachers produced in the “'Choosing rhyme-It-Playground” context is done and explained. The participants put forward how they perceived Choosing rhyme, It and Playground separately via 72 sub-theme by generating human metaphors like “Voting-Deputy-Voting box”, animal metaphors like “Fishing rod-Fish-Sea” and object metaphors like “Probing-Sample-Cereal Sack” As a last remark, some recommendations are made to the parents and teachers to maintain this traditional culture inherited from our ancestors. ÖzetTürk kültüründe ve eğitim sisteminde, çocuğun ayrılmaz bir parçası olan oyunun, çocuğun duygusal, zihinsel, ahlaki, sosyal, kişilik ve ana dil bakımından gelişiminin en etkili aracı olduğu bilinen bir gerçektir. Son yıllarda, oyunun diğer alanlarında olduğu gibi, çocuk oyunlarının fonksiyonlarını, metaforik açıdan ele alan araştırmaların sayısında gözle görülür bir artma eğiliminde olduğu görülmektedir. Bu anlamda oyun, çocuk için bir eğitim merkezi, akranları birer öğretmen, oyun içinde kullandıkları, taş, toprak, su ve ağaç gibi doğal malzemeleri de en etkili eğitim araçları olarak önem kazanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, geleneksel çocuk oyunlarını meydana getiren “Saymaca-Ebe-Oyun alanı” unsurları öğretmen adaylarının metaforik algıları üzerine ele alınmıştır. Bu nitel çalışmada öğretmen adaylarının “Saymaca-Ebe-Oyun alanı” bağlamında ürettiği 23 metaforun içerik analizi yapılarak açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır. Katılımcılar, “Saymaca-Ebe-Oyun Alanı” bağlamını, “Seçim-Milletvekili-Sandık” gibi insan metaforları; “Olta-Balık-Deniz” gibi hayvan metaforlarını ve “Sonda-Numune-Hububat Çuvalı” gibi nesne metaforlarını kullanarak 72 alt tema oluşturmuşlar ve Saymaca, Ebe ve Oyun alanını kültürel olarak nasıl algıladıklarını ortaya koymuşlardır. Sonuç olarak, Atalarımızdan bizlere miras kalan bu geleneksel kültürün sürdürülmesi için öğretmen ve ebeveynlere bazı tavsiyelerde bulunulmuştur.
