INTRODUCTION

Language can be interpreted as an important part in human life. It also is a form of a written or oral symbol. People are able to communicate with each other using language that they use and the use of language also to express through and ideas (Sagimin: 2016). Moreover, Jendra (2012) said that language is the way of communication. In communicating, people usually use borrowing a language from other language. For example, Indonesian people who meet Japanese people usually borrow English language because it is an International language that will make them understand each other what is talking about. Moreover, there are two ways that can be use in borrowing words. The first way is complete borrowing. It is the loanword that used in its original form of spelling and pronunciation. The second way is incomplete borrowing. It means that the loanword is changed not only in pronunciation and spelling but it also changes in affixation.

The form of language contact can be explained by the situation when a bilingual borrows a foreign language to communicate or write something. In addition, this situation can be said as a borrowing word. It is also usually called as loanword. Jendra (2012) said that borrowing words from different or other language is one of the most general processes of forming and adding new words. In sociolinguistics, borrowing word is a phenomenon that takes place in a society by mixing the different languages. One of the reasons of this phenomenon is because it is the alternative vocabularies in the native language (Sagimin: 2016).

Sagimin (2016) wrote that Indonesian people are common with borrowing word or loanword. However, they do not aware of the words that they use are borrowing words. It is caused by several reasons and processes of the way that they use some of borrowing words. They borrow the foreign languages as Indonesian word such as the word laptop, data, model, internet, bank, modern, and agenda are from English. Furthermore, borrowing words are sometimes found in a varietymediaincludes advertisement, newspaper, and etc. One of the famous one is found in advertisement.

Holmes (2013) also said that speakers also borrow words from other language to explain a concept or something which the words are do not understood or available in their language use. There are two ways in borrowing words that are complete borrowing (used in its original form such as spelling and pronunciation) and incomplete borrowing (the word changes in spelling, pronunciation, and affixation).

Borrowing

Loanword is also as borrowing word. It is the processes of forming and adding new words from another language. Haspelmath (2009) explained that Loanword (or lexical borrowing) is illustrated as a word that entered its lexicon as an output of borrowing (by transfer or copying).

Loanword

Loanword is the process of morphological importation that involves no morphological substitution without change in phoneme (Winarto, 2013). The word is expressed as the earlier and more familiar which is used by the receptor language in a community. For instance, the word “villa means vila”, “apartment means apartemen”, “data means data”, and “mall means mal.

Advertisement

Sagimin (2016) described that advertising is a kind of massage consciously used to promote products or services through all kinds of media to the target market.
