Abstract

This study investigates the use of inflectional and derivational morphemes in Selena Gomez’s
talkshow on mental health awareness. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the research
analyzes transcripts from selected episodes through purposive sampling. Data collection involved
transcript analysis, morpheme identification, and classification based on meaning. The findings
reveal 207 total morphemes, comprising 172 inflectional morphemes (83,1%) and 35 derivational
morphemes (16,9%). Eight types of inflectional morphemes were identified, primarily used for
grammatical functions. Derivational morphemes included noun-forming, adjective-forming, adverbforming, and verb-forming suffixes, along with verb-forming prefixes, contributing to vocabulary
enrichment and meaning variation in mental health discussions.
