This research investigates the morphological process of verb-attaching affixes in the Thie dialect of the Rote language, focusing on their forms, types, and meanings. The study was conducted in Busalangga, Thie Village, Rote Ndao Regency, using a qualitative descriptive method. The data were collected through elicitation techniques such as interviews, note-taking, and audio recordings with native speakers of the Thie dialect as informants. This approach was chosen to accurately describe the linguistic features of the dialect in its natural context.
The findings reveal that the Thie dialect employs two major types of affixation processes: prefixation and circumfixation. The prefix {man-} functions as a derivational morpheme that forms agent nouns referring to the doer of an action, while the circumfix {man-...-k} indicates agentive nouns expressing past or completed actions. These morphological processes show the productivity and complexity of the Thie dialect, contributing to a deeper understanding of word formation in Austronesian languages and the linguistic richness of local dialects in Indonesia.
