Library's collection Library's IT development Cancel"Bahasa Indonesia" is still developing and many foreign words have been adopted
in enriching Indonesia language. Now days there is a new code that is gives a
contribution to the development of Indonesian language. It is called Bahasa Binan
(gay language). The writer?s experience was that when she read gay magazine she
did not understand the meaning of certain words, which are applied in the
magazine. She experienced difficulty in understanding and translating the words.
Like other languages, gay words also undergo a linguistic process, which is called
word formation processes. Therefore, through this study the writer wants to find
out the word formation process of gay words and the most common word
formation process of gay words in "GAYa NUSANTARA" magazine. For the
theory of Morphology and word formation theory the writer used Yule?s
classification (1996), as the major theory. This theory is supported by Indonesia
word formation theory by Chaer (2003). The writer gets the data from "GAYa
NUSANTARA" magazine the edition of January 2004-May 2004. The data is
translated both in Indonesia and English, and then analyzed it based on Yule?s
classification. The finding shows that from the 59 gay words, which are found in
"GAYa NUSANTARA" magazine are divided into two big patterns those are
Yule?s word formation processes and gay?s word formation processes. The most
frequent word formation process, which is form the gay words is multiple
processes with, and the lowest are clipping and acronyms.
