ERROR ANALYSIS OF AFFIXATION ON ELEVENTH GRADE STUDENTS IN WRITING ANALYTICAL EXPOSITION TEXT

This research deals with the eleventh grade students’ inflectional affixation errors
in writing analytical exposition texts. This research uses a qualitative design in
which the data are taken from the sentences of texts. The data are collected and
described by using surface strategy taxonomy proposed by Dulay et al. The errors
found are classified into causes of errors based on Erdogan’s model as a guideline.
The researcher applies random technique to get a representative sample; from six
private schools at Marelan, 150 students are choosen as the sample. The analysis
found that there are three types of affixation errors occured; they are omission 66
cases, addition 44 cases, and misformation 14 cases both in inflection and
derivation. Besides, intralingual contributes 60,5% (75 cases) and interlingual
39,5% (49 cases) in causing errors happened. So, the most dominant type of
inflectional affixation errors made by the eleventh grade students in writing
analytical exposition text is omission. It is hoped that the result of this research is
useful for everyone who wants to study about affixation errors
