Abstract :
Derivational affixes are affixes that are added to root words to produce
new words that have different meaning or part of speech. The objectives of this
research are to find out the derivational affixes in The Hunting Party novel by
Lucy Foley and to explain the formation of words containing derivational affixes
found in The Hunting Party novel by Lucy Foley. The research design of this
research is descriptive qualitative. The data are analyzed by separating root
words and affixes based on a list of words containing derivational affixes in the
table, classifying words that contain derivational affixes based on their part of
speech, and drawing the conclusions. The results of this research show that
derivational affixes found in The Hunting Party novel by Lucy Foley are a-, un-,
im-, dis-, in-, re-, over-, pre-, under-, pro-, non-, dys-, ir-, il- as prefixes and ly-, tion,
-ship, -ment, -less, -ion, -ate, -ence, -ity, -ness, -ful, -er, -ably, -ary, -able, ation,

-age,
-sion,
-ine,
-eous,
-let,
-ery,
-ian,
-ist,
by,
-or, -ism, -ior, -ory, -cise as suffixes. The total number of words containing
derivational affixes in The Hunting Party novel by Lucy Foley is 852 words. In the
formation of words containing derivational affixes, there are several rules, such
as the final letter of the root word being omitted, changed, or adding a letter
before the affix is given.
