ABSTRACT

This paper is dealing with the description of affixes used or found in the Jakarta Post Newspaper
volume 31 numbers 234 which was published on the 26th of December in 2013. The news was
written by one of the Jakarta Post Joufrnalists named Reuter from Vatican. According to the pope
at the Vatican deals with the atheists that he uses twenty sentences out of six hundred and twenty
words. Applying these words he uses nine different suffixes. He does not use prefixes. The nine
suffixes are –able, -ed, -ful, -ing, -ly, -ment, -r, -s, and -y. The suffix –ed is used dominantly and
followed by the suffix –s. It seems that the journalist of the Jakarta Post Newspaper, Reuter does
not use prefix in telling the news about the atheist.
