Abstract

The affix me-/-kan, me (N)- and -kan have a tendency to form classes of verbs. The process of forming verbs can be constructed from nouns, adjectives, and adverbs. Moreover, there are also verbs which do not change the class, although it has experienced the process of affixation. These phenomena are known as derivation and inflection. Derivation system and status change of these verbs applied to the debate text of RI presidential candidates in the period of 2014 to 2015. The study aims to describe the derivation and inflection system in the candidates’ debate texts. The concept of derivation and inflection is formed based on several criteria, such as class or status and acceptance in the clause. The data analysis only focuses on the candidates’ debate texts. The data were collected by writing the text documents for patterning and sorting. The result of the research on the candidates’ debate texts is that a derivation process occurs in class N ? V, A ? V, and Adv ? V. Moreover, inflection does not change the class of verb, such as V ? V. However, in a different view, the change of V ? V can be considered as derivation, on the basis that it can change the semantics and clause. Therefore, it is hoped this research can describe the construction of derivation and inflection.
