Abstract

This research focuses on the use of derivational suffixes in the novel A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett. This study aims to identify the types of derivational suffixes and explain how derivational suffixes found influence the class-changing transformations in the novel A Little Princess. Data were collected through documentation method and note-taking technique. In analyzing the data, this research using descriptive qualitative methods. The analysis refers to Plag's (2003) and Bauer's (1983) theories. A total of 161 derivational suffixes were found in the novel. The suffixes include four types: nominal, verbal, adjective, and adverbial suffixes. The most frequently used adverbial suffix is -ly, which appears 64 data. This suffix generally functions to describe the way or attitude in an action or situation. The results also show two types of derivational effects: class-maintaining and class-changing derivation. Class-changing derivation are dominant, with 158 data, while class-maintaining derivation only occurs 3 data. These results highlight the important role of derivational suffixes in enriching vocabulary and forming grammatical structures in literary texts.

Abstract

This research focuses on the use of derivational suffixes in A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett. The study aims to identify the types of derivational suffixes and to explain how they influence class-changing transformations in the novel. Data were collected through documentation and systematic note-taking, and analyzed using a descriptive qualitative method grounded in Plag’s (2003) and Bauer’s (1983) morphological theories. The analysis identified a total of 161 derivational suffixes, consisting of four types: nominal, verbal, adjectival, and adverbial suffixes. Among these, the adverbial suffix -ly was the most frequent, occurring 64 times, and primarily functioning to modify actions or states by expressing manner or attitude. The findings further reveal two derivational effects: class-maintaining and class-changing derivation. Class-changing derivations are dominant, with 158 instances, while class-maintaining derivations occur in only 3 instances. These results underscore the significance of derivational morphology in literary texts, demonstrating how suffixation contributes to lexical expansion and syntactic variation, and offering insights into how morphological processes shape meaning and stylistic expression in literary analysis.
