2. Background
In word formation, morpheme is the
smallest meaningful unit in the grammar of
a language, bound morphemes are affixes.
There are some differences in apply infixes
between English and Indonesian grammar.
The differences become phenomena that
happens toward students in Indonesia who
get difficulties to apply English affixes when
written or spoken in English.

4. Purposes
To make students easier and fun to apply
affixes in learn English.
To make teacher more creative to teach
about morphemes especially affixation.
 To enrich students’ vocabularies.
To improve reading comprehension toward
the students.

5. Advantages
 Teacher can easily teach morphemes in
English to student with a fun way.
By the game, usually student more
understand about the material.
Process in learn about morphemes are
more attractive.

6. Comparison
 Affixation in Indonesia:
 Prefixes (Awalan): Ber- ,
Per- ,Me- ,Di- Ter- ,Ke- ,Se-.
* Per- always need suffix in
the word.
E.g: –kan and –an.
 Infixes (Sisipan)
Infix is affix in the middle of
word.
E.g: -el, -em, and –er.
 Suffixes (Akhiran)
Examples: - --i; –an; - –kan
 Combination of affix
involves prefix and suffix.
Examples:
- Prefix and suffix me-kan,
and memper-kan
- Prefix and suffix ber – an.
- Prefix and suffix pe – an
- Prefix and suffix per- an
- Prefix and suffix se –nya

7.  Affixation in English:
 Affixes are bound morphemes that is attached to a free
morpheme to form a new word.
 Affix is divided into two:
Inflectional = change the grammatical meaning.
Derivational = change meaning or word classes.
 All inflectional affixes are suffix.
 From the book Word-Formation in English, published by
Cambridge University Press, “It is impossible to say how
many affixes English has, but it is clear that there are
dozens.”
 There are 54 suffixes and 26 prefixes (Hay and Bayen,
2002).
 According to Stockwell and Minkova(2001), there are 129
affixes.
 List of Prefixes and Suffixes
