Morphology is a branch of linguistics regarding the form and formation of words. Morphological processes in forming words require components or elements of word formation, namely zero derivation, affixation, reduplication, abreviation, composition and back-derivation.

The focus of the problems in this study include the process of contraction abreviation on narrative discourse.
