Abstract

This article aims at describing functions of suffix –an in Javanese. Suffix -an is the most utilised suffix in Javanese, this suffix is used to create nouns, verbs and adjectives in word formation by maintaining or changing classes of the base. This suffix also functions as marker of reciprocal construction. Data in this article are gathered from novel and magazine which were analysed by using descriptive qualitative method. In the affixation process, suffix -an is used solely or together with prefixes and infixes as circumfixes. In several circumfixes, suffix -an is attached to reduplicated bases.
