Abstract

This study aims to investigate the morphological awareness of Indonesian children between the ages of 5 and 6 in two kindergartens. Morphological awareness measures covered children’s ability in identifying and producing both inflectional and derivational reduplication morphemes. Participants in this study were 45 children of two kindergartens in North Bandung. This study employs a descriptive quantitative method because the collected data is quantitative information which is presented in numerical data in form of scores on two different types of test. The results showed that kindergarten children’s morphological awareness is just beginning. Their inflectional reduplication morphemes awareness was also better than that of derivational reduplication morphemes awareness. In addition, children performed better at identifying and producing full reduplication morphemes than affixation reduplication, partial reduplication, and vocalic reduplication morphemes.
