| Summary: | This research analyzes French nominalization applying general morphology
approach. The researcher was interested to conduct this research since the French
word formation always involves declination and conjugation form adjustment. This
research does not only describe the rules of nominalization, but also explain some
possible difficulties found by Indonesian learners.
This research is a descriptive qualitative research using books, dictionaries
and other written sources as the data sources. This research was conducted through
three phases, those are the provision of data, data analysis and data presentation. The
issues discussed in this research are the rule of adjective, verb, adverb, and numeral
nominalization, the morphophonemic process, the grammatical meaning of French
nominalization, and also some difficulties found by the Indonesian learner in learning
French nominalization.
The result of this research indicates that French nominalization can be created
through suffixation and conversion processes. Nominalization through suffixation can
occur to adjective and verb, otherwise nominalization through conversion can occur
to adjective, verb, adverb, and numeral. The rule of adjective and verb nominalization
is {adjective/ verb} + {suffix} ï� Noun}, and the rule of adjective, verb, adverb, and
numeral nominalization through conversion process is {adjective/ verb/ adverb/
numeral} + {Ã�} ï� Noun}. The allomorphs are found from suffix {â��ité}, {-ance}, {â��
isme}, {-ement}, {-age}, {-tion}, and {-ure}. The grammatical meanings of noun
created from adjective nominalization are noun explaining action, noun explaining
the result of the action, noun explaining the agent of the action, noun describing
situation, noun explaining quality, and noun explaining principle, doctrine, belief or
ideology. The grammatical meanings of noun created from verb nominalization are
noun explaining action, noun explaining the result of the action, noun explaining the
agent of the action, and noun explaining instrument and place to do the action. The
grammatical meaning of noun created from adverb nominalization is noun describing
situation. The grammatical meaning of noun created from numeral nominalization is
describing number or quantity as mentioned on their base forms. The possible
difficulties found by Indonesian learners in learning French nominalization are in
understanding and applying the rules and morphophonemic.
