Abstract

This study examines the complex phonological shifts within the Mewati language, focusing on the transformation of the alveolar lateral sound between two vowels into an alveolar tap/flap. Using Optimality Theory (OT), our primary goal is to uncover the underlying process responsible for this phonological alteration. Fieldwork, in-depth interviews, and audio recordings were used to acquire extensive data. Together, these three data sources contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the phonological alteration under investigation. In summary, fieldwork provides the context, in-depth interviews offer insights into speakers perspectives, and audio recordings supply the raw phonetic data. The research field was Haryanas District Mewat, where we engaged a diverse group of fifty informants, including youth, adults, and the elderly. Mewati, a language native to Haryanas Mewat district exhibits a striking pattern. Our findings revealed that Mewati speakers relinquished the identity of the alveolar lateral sound if it did not occur between two adjacent vowels. These linguistic constraints serve as crucial determinants in evaluating potential output candidates, aligning them with the ranking features of input candidates in the framework of OT. The data collected from the heart of Mewat unequivocally confirms the presence of a phonological alteration process within the linguistic landscape of this region.

Abstract

Greetings are always discussed in terms of sociolinguistics, semantics, pragmatics, and communication separately; however, this paper attempts to examine holistic perspectives. The research is especially aimed at discussing Javanese morning greetings which remain important and crucial in the modern era and technology that any Javanese speakers do not switch to using Indonesian or other international languages in communication. This research is qualitative in which data were retrieved from four online websites and four contributors. The population was 130 written utterances, and of that amount, 39 ones were taken as samples using purposive sampling. Data collection was carried out from November 2 to 10, 2022 involving online observation and data were analyzed descriptively. The research shows that, referring to social interactions, morning greetings keep Javanese away from individualism or individualist characteristics and the addressers assume the addressees understand Javanese. Morning greetings have high speech level or high Javanese (kromo inggil) and are not influenced by weather and routine. Only harmony and respect play a role since greetings are written in high speech level. All addressers also assume they feel “at homes” by the use of native language. Kinship titles and names are unavailable or Ф and do not relate to region difference, and sex and race variation. About mode of communication, all greetings use visual channel and involve anonymous addressers and addressees. The addressees’ reception cannot be measured and the greetings fall under linguistic, but not interactional, routines and consist of ‘recounting of one’s mission’ (without apology, gratitude, and thanksgiving as well as non-verbal behavior). It is concluded morning greetings symbolize the honor and do not always specify words concerning the attributes of participants, except the occupation and socioeconomic status, and are not preceded by God’s blessing or shouts.
