The primary goal of this research is to determine how the affixation process occurs in the lyric "Handwritten album By Shawn Mendes" from The Script. This research is a descriptive qualitative research, namely the research method used to collect, classify, and analyze the data which is then concluded from the analyzed data. The data was extracted from the lyric's text script. This analysis demonstrates that affixation occurs. Keywords: Affixation, Song lyrics, Handwritten Album. INTRODUCTION In Linguistics, it generally refers to the topic of word form and structure (Yastanti & Warlina, 2018). As stated by Meinawati et al., 2020) linguistics is defined as the study of the structure of word formation. This means that the formation of these words has an important meaning in language. Morphology is the branch of linguistics that study about words’ structure. In line with Katamba (1993: 19) as cited in Setyawan, B. Y, (2014) said that Morphology is the study of word structure. Learning morphology means learning about language teaching and grammar (Meinawati & Alawiyah, 2018). In some language, the use of morphology to give complex meanings into single words is much more complicated than in English. Morpheme is as smallest unit meaning in morphology. As stated by Aprianti & Parmawati (2020) Morphemes are defined as parts of language that have various functions to form words and sentences. English only has two binding morphemes, namely the prefix and the suffix (Afri & Maulina, 2021). Furthermore, Katamba (1993: 19) as cited in Setyawan, B. Y, (2014) explained that morphemes are classified of three kinds such as bound morphemes, free morphemes, and zero morphemes. Morphemes are divided by root and affixes. Srijono as cited in Setyawan, B. Y, (2014) said the root is defined as the part of the word structure that remains after all affixes are removed. While affixes are bound morphemes, but their number is reduced. Number is differing with its language. Baurer, (2003: 110) as cited in Setyawan, B. Y, (2014) revealed that a morpheme is an abstraction of a series of morphs that share meaning and form and are in a distribution that complements each other. Setyawan, B. Y, (2014) stated that the derivation does range from inflectional, however, in that the reflected document is prepared to be a paradigm. Affixes can be derivation, like Englishness and pre-, or inflectional, like English plural –s and past tense –ed. Setyawan, B. Y, (2014) told that they are part of a particular morpheme which is defined as; prefixes and suffixes can be separate affixes. Thus, affixation is defined as a linguistic method used by the audio system to form certain words using morphemes (suffixation) of words. Inflection and derivation are the two-building process in morphology. Moreover, Setyawan, B. Y, (2014) explained that Morphology can be analyzed in various written languages that have grammatical 1088 Vol.2 No.2 September 2021 ……………………………………………………………………………………………………… structures. Composers usually write using complex words or sentences to describe the facts and deep feelings they feel in the lyrics for each song. One of the written languages that we can meet is in song lyrics. Furthermore, Setyawan (2014) stated that Song lyrics are also created from the grammatical level. Composers share the experience and components of language with others from written language as lyrics and spoken language as music or sound. The song that has been analysed by the author is the album from Shawn Mendes that entitled handwritten. It has been released in April 2015. It is the first album from his. According to morphological affixes, handwritten song lyrics have many words that can be observed with derivational and inflectional affixes. As an example: I'm shaking falling onto my knees, And now that I'm without your kisses, I'll be needing stitches, I'm tripping over myself. Screaming (shake + ing) of the part of Time is Stitches song is one kind of inflectional affixes because do not changing the meaning and word-class. Shake is verb, although get affix –ing the word class still verb. Next from I Don't Even Know Your Name song I watch your troubled eyes as you rest, And I fall in love with every breath, Wonder if those eyes are really shut, And am I the one you're dreaming of 'Cause underneath the darkness There's a light that is trying so hard to be seen. (dark + ness) is the part of time is I don’t even know your name song is one kind of derivational affixes because changing the wordclass from adjective into noun. Thus, it can be seen the functions and kinds of affixes that exist in written language. Based on the background, the researcher is interested in researching and making a paper entitled “Analysis of Affixation Usage on Songs in Handwritten Album by Shawn Mendes”. This paper mainly focuses on the usage of affixation on handwritten album by Shawn Mendes. It is also explained about affixation and its classification. LITERATURE REVIEW Affixation is defined as a morphological process in which an affix is conveyed to one or more free morphemes (Setyawan, 2014). There are two kinds of affixes, namely inflectional affixes and derived affixes. Inflectional suffixes are needed to grammatically correct a sentence but add little meaning to the phrase. They never modify a word from grammar class to grammar class, but each grammar class has its own special collection of inflectional suffixes. Therefore, these suffixes will help us to decide whether the word is a NOUN, VERB, or ADJECTIVE. In any case, when we are analysing a phrase, we must recognize and ignore inflection suffixes. This is especially important not to confuse them with derivational suffixes, which change the word’s meaning and must be glossed over. According to Katamba (1993: 51) as cited in in Setyawan, B. Y, 2014) Inflectional affixes are only able to adjust the form of a word so that it can be formed into the selected syntactic slot, for example book and books, both of which are nouns. It can be concluded inflectional change the words without changing its meaning and the word class. Derivational Affixes A derivational affix is an affix which forms one word (derives) from another. Perhaps the derived word is of a word class different from the original. Generally it occurs closer to the root. It is usually more meaningful, and it is more likely to result in a shape with a rather idiosyncratic significance. Furthermore, Katamba (1993: 51) as cited in in Setyawan, B. Y, (2014) stated that Derivative affixes are used to create new lexemes. Lexems are vocabulary objects found in dictionaries, through modifications th (...truncated)
