Abstract
The objectives of this research are to know the function of derivational affixes and to analyze the word structure of derivational affixes found in HighEnd Magazine. This study focused on the function and the word structure of affixes attached in each word found in HighEnd Magazine. The magazine entitled HighEnd Magazine is used as the data source. In this research the writer used observation method in collecting the data and qualitative method was used to analyze the data. The data were analyzed by using theory from Katamba (1993) and Carstairs and McCarthy (2002). The researcher used formal and informal method to present the result of the analysis. There are 302 words attached by derivational affixes found in HighEnd Magazine. There are two functions of derivational morpheme they are class changing morpheme and class maintaining morpheme.

Aronoff and Fudeman (2011:2) stated that morphology refers to the mental system involved in word formation, or to the branch of linguistics that deals with words, their internal structure, and how they are formed
Morphology can be defined as the study of word formation, including the ways new words are coined in the languages of the world, and the way forms of words are varied depending on how they are used in sentences (Lieber, 2009:2)

Summary
Aronoff and Fudeman (2011:2) stated that morphology refers to the mental system involved in word formation, or to the branch of linguistics that deals with words, their internal structure, and how they are formed. Bound morpheme defined as a morpheme that cannot stand alone, including both prefixes and suffixes and are typically attached to another form (Katamba, 1993:41). Affix can be defined as a morpheme which only occurs when it is attached to some other morpheme or morphemes such as a root or stem or base. Prefix defined as an affix attached before a root or stem or base like re-, un, and in-. Infix is an affix inserted into a root or stem or base itself. An affix attached after a root or stem or base like –ly, -er, -ist, -ing, and –ed can be called as suffix (Katamba, 1993:44). Affixes can be derivational or inflectional, such as prefix un- and suffix ment, or suffix –s and –ed
