The theoritical basis used in the research covers (1) morphology, (2) verbs, (3) affixes, (4) derivational morphology, (5) inflectional morphology (6) kinds of Javanese derivations, and (7) productivity of affixes in Javanese verbs.

This research data is in the form of sentences in which there are verb affixation that occupy the function as predikat in the sentences. Agih method is used in data analysis. The study of denominal verb in the Javanese language with the process of affixation can be in the forms of: (1) affixes that form denominal verbs, (2) infixes that form denominal verbs, (3) suffixes that form denominal verb, and (4) combined affixed that form denominal verbs. Productivity of affixes in forming Javanese denominal verbs can be: (1) prefix with high productivity in forming Javanese denominal verbs, (2) infixes with fair productivity in forming Javanese denominal verbs, (3) suffixes with high productivity in forming Javanese denominal verbs, and (4) combined affixes with high productivity in forming Javanese denominal verbs.Key words: derivation, affixes, verbs. PENDAHULUANInfleksi dan derivasi merupakan persoalan klasik di dalam tata bahasa tradisional dan selalu dibedakan di dalam pemerian morfologi bahasa Indo-Eropa (Subroto:53). Meskipun keduanya merupakan proses morfologi yang berbeda, keduanya saling berkaitan erat antara satu dengan yang lain dan pemerian tentang keduanya saling melengkapi.Menurut proses derivasional ada dua macam, yakni derivasi transposisional dan derivasi taktransposisional. Derivasi transposisional adalah derivasi yang mengakibatkan terjadinya perubahan kelas kata, sedangkan derivasi taktransposisional adalah derivasi yang tidak mengubah kelas katanya.
