Who is Harimurti Kridalaksana?
Harimurti Kridalaksana (1939–2022) was a distinguished Indonesian linguist and a professor at the University of Indonesia. He authored dozens of influential books, including Kamus Linguistik (Linguistics Dictionary), Pembentukan Kata dalam Bahasa Indonesia (Word Formation in Indonesian), and Kelas Kata dalam Bahasa Indonesia – a book dedicated entirely to the topic of parts of speech.
His approach is descriptive (describing language as it is used) rather than prescriptive (how it should be used), heavily influenced by structural linguistics.

Introduction
In the study of Indonesian linguistics, few names command as much respect as Prof. Dr. Harimurti Kridalaksana. His work on kelas kata (word classes) has become the gold standard for students, teachers, and researchers. While many are familiar with the traditional Kelas Kata (Noun, Verb, Adjective, etc.), Kridalaksana introduced a more nuanced, distribution-based analysis that better captures the unique characteristics of the Indonesian language.
This article explores his classification of word classes and provides guidance on locating his seminal works in PDF format.
