In this paper, a construction to imitate the Bernstein-Zelevinsky derivative for automorphic representations on GLn(A) is introduced. We will later consider the induced representationfrom the discrete spectrum representations of GLn(A), and apply our method to study the degenerate Whittaker coefficients of the Eisenstein series constructed from such a representation as well as of its residues. This method can be used to reprove the results on Whittaker supports of automorphic forms of such kind proven by D. Ginzburg, Y. Cai and B. Liu. This method will also yield new results on the Eulerianity of certain degenerate Whittaker coefficients.
