This is what to describe in this paper by highlighting on how negative prefixes derive negation forms of adjectives from positive ones. Prefixation process in this study is derivational process which constructs negation forms of adjectives from word class of adjective. In the process, sound change is of a necessity. It is caused by either phonological or morphological conditioning. Prefix \{in-\} is not always regular all the time and cannot always attach to any base with any initial phoneme. For new L2 learners or even English-acquiring children, this might be a problem that they encounter. Apparently, it is generally rule-governed. The rule is well-known as morphophonemic rule, one of which is assimilation. Keywords: prefixes, morphophonemic, English} }
