Abstract: This research investigates the types of words that represent terms related to emotional intelligence. The study

was conducted with a qualitative research approach. The result is that nouns are the words most commonly

used to represent terms, followed by verb, adjective, adverb. When reviewed based on Goleman's emotional

intelligence framework, the term correlates with self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and

social skills

1 INTRODUCTION

Research on what kinds of root word which are used

to represent the term has been carried out by experts,

including Sukesih (2016) about financial

management terms, Hasyim (2015) about research

terms, Khoirunnisa (2015) about cultural terms, and

Fachrudin (2017) about mechanical engineering

terms. However, these studies did not specifically

investigate word classes in the form of root words.

These studies focus on the form of linguistic units

used to represent terms. Thus, the study of word

classes from the root words used to represent the term

emotional intelligence is still needed to be researched

and published.

Emotional intelligence is the ability of humans to

manage themselves and relate to others 'new yardstick

that how well we handle ourselves and each other';

intelligence is often referred to as character,

personality, soft skills, or competence (Goleman,

1999: 3-4). By referring to the definition of emotional

intelligence conveyed by Goleman, the term

emotional intelligence is defined as a term relating to

managing oneself and others. Examples of the terms

emotional intelligence include sensitive, sensitively,

success, successful, aware, awareness, leads,

leadership, stress, distress, rational, and rationally.

Root word in English is called root; root is a

morpheme in the core of a word that can be added to

the 'morpheme at the core of word to which affixes

are added (Carstairs dan McCarthy, 2002: 20;

Katamba, 2005: 188),word class is a word category;

category of words among others: nouns, verb,

adjective, pronouns, numerals, adverb, interjection,

prespotion, conjuncion (Kridalaksana, 2014).

The research quetion is what word classis of root

word which are used to represent the term of

emotional intelligence, while the location of research

on translation analysis about the root words of

technical terms is in a book with the title Working

with Emotional Intelligent by Daniel Goleman

(1999). The research quetion is one of quetions from

the grand research of “Model of Term Translation

Related with the Term of Emotional Intelligence from

English into Indonesian”.

2 METHODS

The research carried out with qualitative research.

The Data research is term of emotional intelligence

and it’s word classes. The data collected by content

analysis, while the analysis data used thequalitative

analysis (Santosa [2017] that cited from Spreadly,

1980): domain analysis, taxonomic analysis, inter-

component analysis, and finding themes

(concluding).

3 THEORY

Wiratno (2003: 91-92) states that in English it is

known by word types and word classes, namely (i)

noun, (ii) verb, (iii)) adjective, (iv) adverb, (v)

pronoun, (vi) conjunction, (vii) preposition, (viii) and

numeral. Chaer (2012: 162-169) states that word have

forms with phonological order which are stable and

unchanging and have mobility into sentences.

According to Chaer, word can be grouped into (i)

nouns, (ii) verbs, (iii) adjectives, (iv) prepositions, (v)

conjunctions, (vi) adverbs, (vii) pronouns. Noun is a

word that states a thing or is an object; an example is

students, universities, and lecturers. Verb is a word

that states an action or action; Examples are writing,

influencing, and bathing. Adjectives are words that

can be distributed behind the very word, can provide

very construction; for example is rich, smart, and

good. Conjunction is a word that can be moved or

used to connect words with words, or one sentence

sentence with another part; examples are therefore, if,

and that. Adverb is a word that gives information on

verbs, or adjectives. Kridalaksana (2014: 30)

conveyed the word categorization which he called the

word class. According to him, words can be

categorized into (i) verb, (ii) adjective, (iii) noun, (iv)

pronoun, (v) number, and (vi) adverb. Anda, root

word in English is called root; root is a morpheme in

the core of a word that can be added to the 'morpheme

at the core of word to which affixes are.

Sukaesih’s research infomed that terms of

financial management generally is phrase, Hasyim’s

research informed that term of research generally

phrase and word; the its word class is noun, verb,

adjective, and adverb. Khoirunnisa found that term of

cultural forming word and phrase and the term of

culture has a meaning related to food culture,

ecological culture, material culture, and social culture

4 RESULT AND DISCUSSION

In this study, there are 204 data (the term of emotional

intelligence) in the form of root words. From the 204

data, the distribution of types of root words used to

represent the term emotional intelligence can be

described as follows: noun: 124; verb: 24; adjective:

56.

Based on Table above, it can be seen that the most

dominant type of root used to represent the term

emotional intelligence is noun (60%). This condition

can be called fair because nouns can be used to express

knowledge more fully (Wiratno, 2018: 279-280).

When reviewed based on Goleman's emotional

intelligence framework (1999), namely (1) self-

awareness, (2) self-regulation, (3) motivation, (4)

empathy, and (5) social skills, the distribution of 204

emotional intelligence term data in the form of roots

the word can be decribed as follows. Self awareness:

50; self-management: 105; motivation: 40; emphaty:

5; social skill:4.

4.1 Discussion

The first finding of the study is that the type of

emotional intelligence term in the form of the most

dominant root is a noun type. The next type of term

that is dominant is adjective, then verb. That nouns,

adjectives, and verbs are the type of words that most

express the term emotional intelligence can be called

logical or rational because the three types of words

are types of English words / parts of speech (Wiratno,

2003: 91-92), with lexical word categories (Djatmika,

2014: 5-27).

There are 4 lexical words (content words), words

that have meanings and references: verbs adjectives,

and adverbs; There are 4 grammatical words, namely

words that have meaning when used in grammatical

construction or grammatical construction:

conjunctions, prepositions, pronouns, and

preface/determiners. The word lexical is also called

the main/major word type, while the grammatical

word is called the complementary/minor word type

(Kridalaksana, 1984).

Nouns, adjectives, and verbs are the types of

words that express the most emotional terms. They

can also be referred to according to the

definition/existence of terms, ie words or phrases

used as names or symbols and which carefully

express meaning, concepts, processes, conditions, or

distinctive traits in the fields of science, science,

technology, and art (Pedoman Pembentukan Istilah,

2007). Meanings and concepts are expressed with

nouns, the process is expressed with verbs, while the

nature is expressed with adjectives (Wiratno, 2003:

91-92).

The results of this study inform that the term

emotional intelligence is more represented by nouns.

These findings are the same as those found by other

technical term translation studies (Hasyim, 2015).

Werdiningsih in his research on economic terms and

Hasyim on research terms. Thus, this research

strengthens and deepens the results of previous

studies, by adding information that technical terms

are also represented by adjectives and verbs. As is

known that this study informs that the term emotional

intelligence is represented by nouns (60%), adjectives

(38%), and verbs (12%).

The study of root words and invented words

belongs to the realm of morphology, which is a

branch of linguistics that examines grammatical

forms and functions of words, including studying

morphemes and their combinations; Morphology is

ASAIS 2019 - Annual Southeast Asian International Seminar

the field of linguistics that studies the relationship

between one morpheme and another morpheme to

form a word that carries out their respective functions

(Kridalaksana, 1984).

5 CONCLUSIONS

Nouns are the type of words that best represent the

terms about emotional intelligence. This finding is the

same as the results of other studies on words that

represent technical terms. Thus, it can be concluded

that technical terms are generally represented by

nouns. However, other research can also be done

about certain terms. Is a certain term also represented

the most nouns.
