Abstract

This study aims to find out (1) the kinds of words formed in the titles of 16-bit RPGs, and (2) the kinds of phrases formed in the titles of 16-bit RPGs. The study are related to the previous studies about word formation processes and phrase structures. The theoretical review of the study includes both morphological and syntactical fields. This research uses the descriptive qualitative method in which a set number of data are observed based on the theoretical review of the study. The data are collected in the forms of one-word titles and phrase titles found in two consoles, namely SNES and Genesis. In the analysis, the data are grouped based on the kinds of words and phrases formed in the titles. The results of this study show that: (1) the kinds of words formed in the titles of 16-bit RPGs are compounding, blending, inflection, derivation, conversion, borrowing, coinage, abbreviation, and acronym. In detail, there are 19 compoundings, 3 blendings, 29 inflections, 23 derivations, 5 conversions, 15 borrowings, 17 coinages, 1 abbreviation, 1 acronym, and 14 multiple processes found in the titles of 16-bit RPGs; (2) the kinds of phrases formed in the titles of 16-bit RPGs are noun phrase and prepositional phrase. In detail, there are 85 phrases of noun phrase and 1 phrase of prepositional phrase found in the titles of 16-bit RPGs. The results of the study indicate that there are many types of words and phrases used in forming the titles of 16-bit RPGs. But, there are also word and phrase types which are not found in the titles. It is indicated that to name the titles of 16-bit RPGs the developers choose the commonly used word and phrase types.
