Abstract
Confixes are affixation phenomena that may affect the class of a word (derivation) or may not change it (inflectional). This study aims to examine the use of confixes (per-/-an and peN-/-an) found in the novel “Laskar Pelangi” by Andrea Hirata. The research employs a corpus linguistic approach ...

Confixes are affixation phenomena that may affect the class of a word (derivation) or may not change it (inflectional). This study aims to examine the use of confixes (per-/-an and peN-/-an) found in the novel “Laskar Pelangi” by Andrea Hirata. The research employs a corpus linguistic approach through the application of KORTARA (Korpus Nusantara) provided by Universitas Negeri Padang. The application can identify the words based on affixation. The data were collected and then analysed using digital computational linguistic analysis. The findings indicated that the use of per-/-an and peN-/-an in Indonesian functions creates new lexemes as they produce new meanings. Additionally, the study revealed that the addition of per-/-an and peN-/-an confixes changes the verb class of words into a noun class with the meaning of action-process nouns and action nouns. The confixes (per-/-an and peN-/-an) may affect the class of words.

Indonesian Language for Foreign Speakers (BIPA) is an Indonesian language learning aimed at foreigners. The most challenging part for foreign speakers in BIPA learning is understanding the morphological processes. This study aimed to describe the prefix /me-/ used by foreign speakers in terms of productivity, allomorphy, and usage. This research was conducted at Yale University, USA, in 2022. The conclusions of this research were (1) The process of affixation of the prefix /me-/ produced six allomorphs; (2) There was the assimilation of the first letters /k/, /p/, /s/, and /t/ in the affixation process; (3) There were four forms that appeared in the form of single words, concatenated words, compound words, and repeated words; (4) There were twelve kinds of meanings produced; (5) There was allomorph /meng-/, which was not in accordance with the Indonesian language rules; and (6) The prefix /me-/ was omitted in everyday conversation in informal situations.
