Secondly, the writer wants to find out the word building components along with the languages used. Thirdly, the writer also wants to find out the dominant language used for both the roots and affixes. In the analysis, the writer uses the morphological theory stated by Francis Katamba, Ralph W. Fasold, M. Ramlan, Subroto and Muhadjir The writer uses descriptive qualitative approach and the data are taken from the words with affixes in chapter one, two and four of Grace Suryani?s "The Puzzle of Teenage Life". In analyzing the data the writer first, puts the data taken from the book of Grace Suryani (words that contain affixes from chapter one, two and four). Then, put them in the table and identify the root of each word and state the language of each root.

After that, the writer states the language of the affixes used and states the word building components of the word construction to see what languages influence teenagers the most in their word choice (either the roots or the affixes). From the analysis, the writer found out that the languages which influence teenagers in constructing their words are Indonesian, Jakartanese, Javanese and English.
