Abstract

Basically the definiteness are related to nouns or nominal phrase. But with dependency analysis, we can found evidence that in Colloquial Jakartan Indonesian definite meaning can be achieved not only in nouns but also by adding suffix -nya to verb. There’s special characteristic of verb with suffix -nya as a definite marker. Suffix -nya as a definite marker can be attached to intransitive and transitive verb but with a different result. Suffix -nya give a definite meaning to a verb that indicated intransitive. In the other hand, suffix -nya as a definite marker that attached to transitive verb didn’t change that verb into definite, but changing the the object referred by that verb instead into definite. There are two function of suffix -nya that attached to transitive verb, namely as a definite marker and as an anaphoric marker. Suffix -nya as an anaphoric marker showed that the transitive verb didn’t followed by object in the same sentence.
