Abstract

The reign of the mayor, Mr. Ridwan Kamil, Bandung had twenty-four thematic parks consisting of a new park and a recap of the previous park. The park had a unique name and its history of the name. The uniqueness of this name made the researcher want to analyze the naming process using a morphological process, namely word-formation. This research focuses on analyzing the morphological process in thematic park naming using O'Grady (2016) theory. The main theory is used word-formation. Word formation is a process of forming new words using several types, such as blending which is a combination of two or more words into one, borrowing is the use of words from other languages without changing the meaning of writing, coined namely the formation of words based on the background of a word, and compounding where the merging of two words or more. Qualitative and descriptive methods are used in this research. The methods aim to create a description of situations and events by using the document analysis technique. As the result, naming parks in Bandung using a morphological process proves that there are four processes found in the use of naming parks in Bandung. There are blending, borrowing, coined word, and compounding. The dominant process is used in the naming park that is the borrowing process.
