Abstract

This paper is aimed to seek the functions and meaning of inflectional affixes in Bahasa Tamiang. By following Creswell (2017) the method applied in this analysis is qualitative research in which the data were gathered by conducting interview and participating observation. The data then were analyzed by using the immediate constituent analysis and paraphrase. The meaning of the arguments was found by following Chafe’s and Fillmore’s Case Grammar. The result of the analysis is that Bahasa Tamiang has some inflectional affixes to form verb in the morphological process; they are [N-], [be-], and [di-]. [N-] that can be realized into /n/, /m/, /ɳ/, /ɳ/, /ɳǝ/, ɳa/ according to the phonetic environment in which the affix is attached. Conjugation in inflectional morphology appeared in BT is diathesis and person. However, diathesis is more dominant than person. Person generally appears in passive verb in which the AGENT is the third person.
