Morphological analysis of literary texts provides insights into the structure and formation of words, essential for understanding language complexity. This study aims to analyze the types of inflectional and derivational affixes in the novel "Kraken" by China Miéville, focusing on their morphological processes and prevalence in the text. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data from chapter ten of "Kraken" were analyzed. Inflectional and derivational suffixes were identified and categorized based on established morphological theories. The analysis identified 92 instances of inflectional suffixes, predominantly singular to plural transformations, and 40 instances of derivational suffixes, mainly adjective to adverb conversions. This study highlights the significant role of affixation in enhancing linguistic richness in literary texts, offering new perspectives on language use in speculative fiction.
