The purpose of this study is to describe the morphological processes in Balinese adjectives. The data sources of this research are Balinese phrases and clauses uttered by selected informants and additional phrases and clauses made by researchers that informants have tested.

Furthermore, this research is also expected to provide information and references for academics in gaining knowledge and understanding of the grammatical behavior of Balinese adjectives.
