Semantik Afiks Pembentuk Nomina yang Berasal Dari Nomina dalam Bahasa Bali

This research is titled Semantics of Affixes Forming Nouns Derived from Nouns in the Balinese Language. This aims to describe the formation of nouns derived from the noun class and the meaning of affixes attached to noun roots to form new nouns. The data sources for this study were taken from written sources such as Balinese storybooks (Satua Bali), Balinese newspapers (Orti Bali), interviews, and the author's intuition as a Balinese person. The method used in data analysis was qualitative descriptive. This study used the Morphology Theory by Katamba and Stontam (2006). Based on the above analysis, it can be concluded that the formation of nouns originating from nouns in the Balinese language is through affixation strategies. These affixes include prefixes, infixes, suffixes, confixes, and combifixes. Semantically, each affix has a variety of meanings. Prefix: {maka-} means 'all, entire', prefix {nir-} means 'not', prefix {pa-} means 'step', 'the thing being discussed', prefix {pi-} means to soften the conversation, prefix {paN-} means 'tool', a person who becomes something, prefix {pari-} means 'many', the prefix {pra-} means 'tribe, clan', the prefix {su-} means 'good'; Infix: {-a-} means 'something given by someone', the infix {-am-} means 'way'; Suffix: {-an} means 'many'; Confix: {ka-an} means 'tool', {paN-an} means 'tool', 'relationship'; Combinfix: {paN-an} means 'tool', 'person who becomes something'. Based on the analysis results, it can be concluded that the formation of nouns derived from nouns in the Balinese language has diverse meanings.
