Deskripsi :

The aim of the research was to find out the process of conceptual correspondence of the mental space J. K. Rowling has when producing new words in “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s stone”. The research applied a qualitative descriptive method by using the productivity and creativity theory by Aronoff&Fudeman and Kridalaksana,  the mental space theory by Saeed,  and the theory of conceptual correspondence by Lee. The observation was applied by focusing on the words in Chapter I – III. Analysis was done by applying the theory of David Lee (2001) concerning conceptual correspondence of the mental space. The results indicate that there are 7 new words and phrases as the result of J. K. Rowling’s creativity. The aspects found can be influenced by the physical environment such as the nature and location as well as the linguistic aspects such as the derivation process, purpose of use, and meaning.
