Written by Victoria Forester?. This research aims to show kinds and functions of derivational affixes found in the selected novel. The data source was taken from a novel entitled The Boy Who Knew Everything by Victoria Forester, which was published in 2015. The theory used in this research was Ingo Plag in his book Word-formation in English (2002) combines with Laurie Bauer in his book English Word Formation (1983). The method used in this research was qualitative method. Began with reading a novel as a whole, paying attention to words contained derivational affixes, and underlining it. The theory of Plag (2002) and Bauer (1983) were employed in this research. From this research, the writer found that, first, kinds of derivational affixes found in the selected novel are nominal suffixes such as ?age (2), ?al (5), ?ance (11), ?ence (3), ?ancy (1), ?ant (2), ?cy (5), ?ce (18), ?dom (2), ?er (30), ?or (6), ?(e)ry (3), ?ian (2), ?ing (17), ?ion (62), ?ation (27), ?ism (3), ?ity (29), ?ment (24), ?ness (37), ? ship (3), ?th (4), and ?ure (4), verbal suffixes such as ?en (5), ?ify (3), and ?ize (5), adjectival suffixes such as ?able (26), ?ible (3), ?al (31), ?ual (4), ?ial (2), ? ary (5), ?ed (51), ?ful (32), ?ic (18), ?ical (3), ?ing (75), ?ish (6), ?ive (22), ?less (25), ?ly (4), ?ous (19), ?y (23), ?ant (1), ?ate (1), ?atory (1), and ?en (1), adverbial suffixes such as ?ly (281) and ?ward (4), and prefixes such as over? (10), a(n)? (1), anti? (1), dis? (17), in? (20), mis? (1), non? (1), un? (63), re? (21), extra? (1), pro? (1), fore? (2), and counter? (1). Second, functions of derivational affixes found in the selected novel are verb maker (48), noun maker (309), adjective maker (289), and adverb maker (283). The writer suggests the student to learn morphology, especially affixation, so they can enrich the vocabulary and practice it on the writing or reading activity. If students do not learn morphology, students will get a misinterpretation of using words.} }
