Abstract
This undergraduate thesis is entitled “Word Formation Processes and Thematic Categories of Specialized Terminology in Honkai: Star Rail Versions 1.0–1.6.” This research aims to analyse how specialized terminology in the video game Honkai: Star Rail is formed through various word formation processes and how these terms are categorized based on their thematic categories within the game. To achieve this objective, the researcher applies George Yule’s theory of word formation (2010) to identify morphological processes including derivation, compounding, borrowing, clipping, conversion, and coinage, along with a thematic classification approach to examine how the terms function within different domains of the game system. The research employs a qualitative method with a descriptive interpretative approach in analysing linguistic data taken from in-game texts such as dialogues, system descriptions, item names, character skills, and gameplay mechanics. The findings show that a total of 80 specialized terms are identified in this study, with derivation and compounding emerging as the most dominant processes. Derivation is mainly associated with conceptual and identity-based terminology, particularly in Path and Faction categories, while compounding is mostly used in functional and descriptive terms such as Location/Transport, Gamemode, Combat Mechanic, and Character Upgrade. Other processes, including borrowing, clipping, conversion, and coinage, play supporting roles in enriching lore, improving interface efficiency, enabling grammatical flexibility, and creating unique fictional terminology. The thematic analysis reveals nine categories, namely Faction, Path, Combat Mechanic, Lore Concept, Gamemode, Location/Transport, Character Upgrade, Resource, and Game Action, with Faction as the most dominant category. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that word formation processes and thematic categorization jointly construct the specialized terminology in Honkai: Star Rail, which functions not only as linguistic elements but also as an integral part of gameplay structure, narrative development, and player understanding. **** Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis bagaimana terminologi khusus dalam video game Honkai: Star Rail dibentuk melalui berbagai proses pembentukan kata serta bagaimana istilah-istilah tersebut dikategorikan berdasarkan kategori tematiknya dalam permainan. Untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut, peneliti menggunakan teori proses pembentukan kata dari George Yule (2010) untuk mengidentifikasi proses morfologis yang meliputi derivasi, komposisi, peminjaman, pemendekan (clipping), konversi, dan coinage, serta pendekatan klasifikasi tematik untuk menganalisis fungsi istilah dalam berbagai domain sistem permainan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif-interpretatif dalam menganalisis data linguistik yang diambil dari teks dalam game seperti dialog, deskripsi sistem, nama item, skill karakter, dan mekanisme permainan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat total 80 istilah khusus yang diidentifikasi dalam penelitian ini, dengan derivasi dan komposisi sebagai proses yang paling dominan. Derivasi terutama berkaitan dengan istilah konseptual dan identitas, khususnya pada kategori Path dan Faksi, sedangkan komposisi paling banyak digunakan pada istilah fungsional dan deskriptif seperti Lokasi/Transportasi, Mode Permainan, Mekanik Pertarungan, dan Peningkatan Karakter. Proses lainnya seperti peminjaman, pemendekan, konversi, dan coinage berperan sebagai pendukung dalam memperkaya lore, meningkatkan efisiensi antarmuka, memungkinkan fleksibilitas gramatikal, dan menciptakan terminologi fiksi yang unik. Analisis tematik menunjukkan sembilan kategori yaitu Faksi, Path, Mekanik Pertarungan, Konsep Lore, Mode Permainan, Lokasi/Transportasi, Peningkatan Karakter, Sumber Daya, dan Aksi Permainan, dengan Faksi sebagai kategori yang paling dominan. Berdasarkan temuan tersebut dapat disimpulkan bahwa proses pembentukan kata dan kategorisasi tematik secara bersama-sama membentuk terminologi khusus dalam Honkai: Star Rail, yang tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai unsur linguistik, tetapi juga sebagai bagian integral dari struktur permainan, pengembangan narasi, dan pemahaman pemain.
