Abstract

This descriptive study aimed at describing the number of prefixes and suffixes in Taro Dialect and its types of inflectional and derivational. This study is a descriptive qualitative research. Two informant samples of Taro Dialect were chosen based on a set of criteria. The data were collected based on three techniques, namely; observation, recording technique, and interview (listening and noting) technique. The results of the study show that there were five prefixes and five suffixes existing in Taro Dialect. The prefixes were {N-}, {ma-}, {sa-}, {pa-}, and {ka-}. The suffixes were {-in}, {-ne}, {-an}, {-ang}, and {-e}. The prefixes and suffixes that belong to derivation are: prefix {N-}, {ma-}, {sa-}, {pa}, and {ka-} and suffix {-ang}, {an}, {-ne}, and {-in}. The prefixes and suffixes that belong to inflection are: prefixes {N-}, {ma-}, and {ka-} and suffix {-ang}, {an}, {-ne}, {-in}, and {-e}.
