Definition of Derivational Morpheme
The morpheme which produces a new lexeme from a base (Bauer, 1988: 12). Bound morphemes which derive or create new words by either changing the meaning or the part of speech or both (Sari, 1988: 82).

Types of Derivational Morphemes
Derivational morphemes can be classified into two : 1. Derivational prefixes Prefix is a morpheme added in before the root of a word that adds meaning or emphasis. -un, -in, -re, -dis, -mis, -pre, -a 2. Derivational suffixes Suffix is a morpheme added after or “under” the base of a word that adds meaning to and/or indicates the part of speech of a word. -er, -ment, -ness, -ion, -able, -ful, -less, -en, -ify, -ize, -ly

Conclusion Morphemes can be classified into two namely free morphemes and bound morphemes. Bound morphemes are the morphemes which cannot meaningfully stand alone. It means that bound morphemes must be attached to other morphemes. Bound morphemes are also called affixes which can be prefixes, infixes, or suffixes. All prefixes are derivational but most of the prefixes do not change part of speech. Only several prefixes change the part of speech. Most derivational English suffixes change part of speech.
