ANALISLIS KESALAHAN BERBAHASA TATARAN MORFOLOGI PADA TEKS KARANGAN NARASI SISWA KELAS V SDN SINDANGHEULA KECAMATAN TANJUNGSIANG KABUPATEN SUBANG TAHUN PELAJARAN 2024/2025

Abstract

Mastery of morphology as one of the branches of linguistics is essential in writing skills, particularly in producing word forms that conform to the rules of the Indonesian language. The purpose of this study is to analyze language errors at the morphological level in narrative texts written by class V students at SDN Sindangheula. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques including observation of students’ writing processes, interviews with the classroom teacher, and documentation of students’ written work. Based on the analysis of 17 narrative texts, 31 morphological errors were identified, consisting of 17 affixation errors (54.84%), nine reduplication errors (29.03%), and five compounding errors (16.13%). These errors resulted from the incorrect use of affixes, inaccurate reduplication, and improper writing of compound words. The contributing factors include the influence of spoken language in daily life, lack of understanding of morphological concepts, limited revision habits among students, the use of nonstandard affix forms, and interference from students’ first or regional language. In addition, spelling errors such as the separation of affixes from root words also affected the morphological structure of words. Although spelling was not the main focus of this study, such errors have implications for morphemic structure. These findings indicate the need to enhance language learning by emphasizing a deeper understanding of word structure in students’ writing activities.
