| Abstrak/Abstract |
There is still a lack of interest in researching affixal negation, especially among
linguists, although the phenomenon of construction formation is interesting to
explore. It has been understood that the negation dichotomy that Klima introduced
is still commonly used in classifying the form of negation. It is classified into two
forms: sentential and constituent negation. Based on Klima's negation dichotomy, it
can be said that affixal negation is part of the subdomain in constituent negation.
Indonesian and Japanese used the same strategy in constructing the affixal
negation. Both languages use the negative prefix, which attaches to other
constituents, to form the affixal negation construction. This research tries to explore
and compare the process as well as the principles of forming the affixal negation in
both Indonesian and Japanese. The main source of data used for this research is
primarily taken from dictionaries and published articles related to negation. The
comparison analysis is done using a theoretical contrastive analysis method to
determine the contrast features and variables in Indonesian and Japanese affixal
negation formation. The analyzed data shows that the borrowed affixes, change of
sounds, word element, and derivation process are the main contrast features in
affixal negation formation, especially in Indonesian and Japanese. In addition, the
affixation process, role, and flexibility are the variable features during affixal
negation formation in both languages. |
