Keywords:
Morphological, Muna Language, Semantic Analysis, Verbal AffixesAbstract
The study aims at describing verbal affixes in the Muna language based on morphological aspect and describing verbal affixes in the Muna language based on semantic aspect. Data were analyzed descriptively and qualitatively. The results of the study indicate that the Muna language has several verb-forming affixes, either those whose base words are nouns, adjectives, or verbs themselves. Verb affixes in the Muna language can be prefixes, infixes, suffixes, and confixes. However, this article only discusses Muna verb prefixes and infixes. In the Muna language, verbs as a category are characterized by forms that, in the context of language use, always appear in a complex manner through the process of affixation. The affixation process is characterized by the combination of two or more morphemes in the form of affixes to the base or base. From a semantic level, Muna verbs can be identified based on their grammatical units. Among the meanings of the verb affixes are doing something as mentioned in the base word, unintentional activities, imperatives, possessiveness, mutual or reciprocal actions, calling, and actions that will be carried out. The results of this study are expected to be one of the efforts to preserve regional languages,,,
