MORPHOLOGICAL REGULARITIES AND MEANING SHIFT ANALYSIS IN INFORMATION COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY: A MORPHO-SEMANTIC STUDY

New word form in information technology is always getting appeared more and more, year by year along the rapid development in high technology in information and communication. The new words appear in many ways such as compounding and derivational. This paper analyzed the regularities from the old meaning to the new meaning related to the form of the words itself. It can be analyzed through source-oriented and product oriented. It will describe how far the old word form involved in making new words in Information Technology. The result shows that compounding take part much more than other process in new word form than derivations. In other hand, borrowing process of new words appeared because of the need for naming a product especially in information communication technology. The result shows that most of compounding words are categorized in product-oriented while derivational words are categorized as source-oriented. Those analyzing may conclude that the motivation of compounding form usually caused by the near concept look like with the two words in compounding. So, compounding become the simpler and easier process to describe the new meaning while derivational form, the words still have the root from the old word and it might be caused by the meaning which still has near meaning with the old word as the source.
