Abstract

This research is a cross-sectional sample survey with a qualitative approach of Malay Jambi's phonology in Sarolangun Regency. The data was collected in the field using observation and interview methods. It has a form of notes, interview transcriptions, and audio and video recordings. The data was analyzed using a phonetic articulator matching method with a diving-key-factors technique as a basis. The results are presented based on the phonetic symbols of the IPA Chart (revised 2005). As found in the research, Malay Jambi of Sarolangun has six vowels and twenty consonants, one of which does not occur in native Malay Jambi words. Beyond the phonological system description, this paper discusses various features found in Sarolangun like nasalization and laxing of vowels, consonant and syllable deletion, or glide insertion.

Abstract

This research aims to describe the phonological variation in Serawai language used by Minangkabaunese and Serawainese. This research is a descriptive research with a qualitative approach. The method that used in this research is method that proposed by Sudaryanto. The data are collected by using observational method, the technique applied in collecting data are interview, recording and taking field notes. In analyzing data, the researcher used a distributional method. The presenting the result is by using formal (signs and symbols) and informal method (descriptive of ordinary word). The result of this research is the phonological variation in Serawai language that used by Minangkabaunese and Serawainese consist of 8 differential. They are 4 vocoid variations and 4 contoid variations. The vocoid variations are [ə]~[e], [i]~[e], [u]~[o], and [a:]~[a]. The contoid variations are [w]~[Ø], [y]~[Ø], [b]~[Ø], and [ɤ]~r]. There are phonologycal variations in Serawai language that used by Minangkabaunese and Serawainese because there are soundsthat unusual used in Minangkabau language, for example [ə] and [ɤ]. Furthemore, The variation is not change the meaning at all.

Abstract

This paper aims to explain the variation of the numeral form, which means ‘one’ in the numeral classifier of the Batak Angkola language of Pintu Padang isolect and to describe the pattern of use of each of these forms. Data was collected by using observation and interview methods. Observation is done by listening to speakers communicate with each other. Interviews were conducted by directly asking three informants who met specific requirements and with several other sources. Data analysis was carried out using segmenting immediate constituents technique by dividing the lingual unit into numerals and classifiers. Based on the study results, it can be concluded that in the Batak Angkola language of Pintu Padang isolect found, ten variations of the numeral form, which means ‘one’ followed by a numeral classifier. The variation of the numeral form, which means ‘one’, is determined by the initial phoneme of the numeral classifier it follows in this case, the addition of a phoneme similar to or the same as the following phoneme. However, it is still limited to specific numeral classifiers. The numeral form still dominantly used is the form that has not experienced the addition of a phoneme.

Abstract

The traces of the Minangkabau language in Negeri Sembilan are evidence that the Minangkabau people not only migrated to the coastal areas of Sumatra but also to the Malay Peninsula. Despite historical evidence linking the Tanjong Ipoh isolect to Minangkabau, the extent of phonological change in this isolect remains undocumented. This study seeks to bridge this gap by systematically analyzing phonological evolution. This study aims to describe the forms and types of phonological changes observed in the Tanjong Ipoh isolect, located in Kuala Pilah, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. Data were collected through observation and interviews. We interviewed three native speakers of the Tanjong Ipoh isolect, selected through purposive sampling based on linguistic competence and community recognition, who participated in this study. Additionally, we also interview various speakers to help validate the data. We documented the data using both note-taking and recording techniques. We conducted the analysis using a top-down approach by identifying Minangkabau protolanguage (PBM) reflexes in the Tanjong Ipoh isolect. The results are that the vowels that have changed in Tanjong Ipoh isolect are *i, *u, *ə, *e, and *a, while PBM consonants that have changed in Tanjong Ipoh isolect are *t, *k, *s, *R, and *l. PBM consonant changes in the Tanjong Ipoh isolect consistently occur in environments where PBM vowels also change. The study concludes that all sound changes observed in the Tanjong Ipoh isolect are conditioned. Among the types of changes, lenition (weakening) is the most prevalent, with additional changes including assimilation, dissimilation, fortition, diphthongization, splitting, merging, and elimination. The findings align with established phonological theories and contribute to understanding language evolution in migrant communities.

Abstract

The objective of this research is to describe the assimilation process in the Toba Batak language, specifically as it is spoken in Pintu Padang Village, located in North Sumatra, Indonesia. Assimilation is a type of sound change that is not the same to become the same or almost the same. This process can occur between segments in a word and between components in compound words. So, it is essential to formalize it by describing the sound features that undergo these changes. The data was gathered through observation and interviews. Listening to Batak Angkola speakers communicate with one another allowed for observations. Simultaneously, interviews were conducted by directly interviewing informants who were chosen based on particular criteria. Three individuals were interviewed using a structured interview format. In addition, a set of unstructured interviews was carried out with several other speakers. For this purpose, a generative phonology approach is used. Data analysis was carried out by the distributional method with the segmenting immediate constituents technique. After that, the distinctive features of the sound are explained. The results of this research show that assimilation took place in nasal consonants [m], [n], and [ŋ], which met the consonants [k], [p], [s], [t], [l], and [c]. The sounds [m], [n], and [ŋ] appear in the forms [p], [t] and [k], respectively. Then, the sound [n] appears in the form [l] and [c] when it meets the sounds [l] and [c] too. Generally, it can be inferred that sound modifications in the form of assimilation are homorganic.
