Related to the affixation processes, there is a term called morphophonemic processes (Fromkin, 1990: 141). The term morphophonemic processes is derived from two words, they are “morpheme” and “phoneme”. The word Morphophonemic refers variation in the form of morphemes because of the influence phonetic factor or the study of this variation (Longman). According to Parera, the form change of morpheme is based on the sounds surround it which relates to the correlation between morphemes and phonemes (1982:42). It is also called morphophonemic changes.
According to Ramlan, morphophonemic refers the changes of phoneme as a result from the merging of one morpheme and another (2001:83). He also states that morphophonemic process is a process of form changes in which phoneme and morpheme are involved.
