The Short forms found in text messages of JTV'S "SMS Gaul" - Digital Collection of Petra Christian University

People commonly use TM (Text Message) from the mobile phone
nowadays. The language used in the text is in special written language. The writer
tries to search the short forms applied in the unique TM of JTV?s "SMS Gaul"
show through word formation processes. She uses descriptive qualitative approach
to reveal the type of word formation processes and their frequency. The writer
uses four episodes of JTV?s "SMS Gaul" show. The research began by
transcribing the TM texts. Following that, the writer analyses the uncommon short
forms used in that show. Through the classification of word formation processes
by Yule (1996), the writer focused on three types of word formation processes
applied in the show. The highest frequency is clipping followed by multiple
processes and miscellaneous. Those processes mentioned above are found in the
TM in JTV?s "SMS Gaul" show. As conclusion, using word formation processes,
the type and frequency of the short forms found in the Text Messages are
revealed.
