Abstract

The process of forming a Japanese word is called gokeisei. Gokeisei consists of 4 kinds, namely haseigo (派生語), karikomi or shouryaku (刈り込み· 省略), toujigo (頭字語) and fukugougo/gouseigo (複合語· 合成語). This study aims to identify changes in phonemes in the process of gouseigo formation. In this study, the data were analyzed by identifying vocabulary in the form of gouseigo, making a list of gouseigo, interpreting the data according to theory, then discussing the results of data processing. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method, namely data on japanese compound words (gouseigo) are analyzed and presented according to existing circumstances or phenomena as they are. The data collection technique in this study was carried out by collecting data and information sourced from literature books related to gouseigo. Based on the results of this study, it is hoped that it can be useful for Japanese language learners so that they can understand and form Japanese compound words correctly. The formation of the Japanese compound word (gouseigo) can be grouped into: 1)meishi + meishi, 2)meishi + doushi, 3)doushi + meishi, 4)doushi + doushi. Gouseigo vocabulary can be categorized according to the changes in onso that occur in the process of forming the word.
