Abstract

This study investigates the phenomenon of sound convergence in Indonesian-English bilingual interactions, focusing on a podcast setting. This study investigates three key aspects; the convergence of two English sounds: alveolar /t/ to Indonesian dental /t̪/ and approximant /ɹ/ to Indonesian trilled /r/ using Phonetic and Phonology approach; the reciprocal nature of the convergence; the social factors motivating this linguistic behavior using Communication Accommodation Theory (CAT) approach.. The data collected from six podcast episodes reveal that reciprocity played a significant role in the frequency of convergence, with higher levels of mutual adjustment leading to increased overall convergence. Additionally, the speakers' educational backgrounds, particularly those from prestigious universities, influence the emergence of sound convergence. This research contributes to our understanding of sound convergence in multilingual contexts, shedding light on the complex relationship between language, identity, and social factors. The findings have implications for language education, cross-cultural communication practices, and our broader understanding of how linguistic choices reflect social structures in bilingual settings.

Minangkabau people are a native group that lives in West Sumatra, which is in the middle highlands of Indonesia. Its spoken language is Minangkabaunese which there are many oral literatures in the language including proverbs. This study aimed to look the forms of the proverbs and the cultural values represented in proverbs use and to figure out the women portrayal represented in proverbs use in Minangkabau’s customary rules: Sumbang Duo Baleh. Cognitive Linguistics theory and Conceptual Metaphor theory were applied in the study to give a complete look at how the community expects women to behave. The results showed that because of Minangkabau women’s importance as leaders and role models in their society, they should fulfil all the social requirement to be become a well-regarded member of society otherwise they will be looked down upon in society.
