Abstract

The increasing availability of English language digital media has transformed language learning experiences among adolescents in non English speaking contexts. This study investigates the relationship between engagement with English digital media and receptive L2 vocabulary knowledge among Indonesian adolescents. Using a correlational descriptive design, the study involved 10 Grade 11 students. Data were collected through a digital media exposure questionnaire and a receptive vocabulary test. The findings indicate that students who reported higher levels of engagement with English digital media tended to obtain higher vocabulary scores. Drawing on Krashen’s Input Hypothesis and multimedia learning theory, the study suggests that digital media may provide meaningful input that supports incidental vocabulary development. However, given the very small sample size and the descriptive nature of the analysis, the results should be interpreted as preliminary and not generalizable. The study highlights the potential value of integrating digital media into English language learning as a supplementary resource alongside classroom instruction.

Abstract

This study investigates vowel insertion in Indonesian by examining the phenomenon through both Generative Phonology and phonetic realization. The research is grounded in the framework of Chomsky and Halle (1968), who propose that phonological rules map underlying representations onto surface forms, and in Crystal’s (2008) description of epenthesis as the insertion of a sound to facilitate pronunciation. The data consist of Indonesian words containing illegal initial consonant clusters, alongside recordings from four native speakers whose pronunciations were analyzed auditorily. The generative phonology analysis reveals that vowel insertion functions as a systematic repair strategy triggered by clusters such as /st-/, /sp-/, /sk-/, and /sr-/, which violate Indonesian phonotactic constraints. The phonetic findings support this structure-driven analysis: all speakers consistently inserted a mid vowel—realized as [e] or [ə]—in the predicted environments, confirming the rule’s empirical validity. Taken together, the structural predictions and phonetic evidence demonstrate that Indonesian vowel insertion is both theoretically motivated and phonetically realized. The study contributes to the understanding of Indonesian phonology by showing how abstract phonological rules interact with actual speech production to maintain syllable well-formedness.

Abstract

This study investigates morphological processes, specifically clipping and borrowing in the Minangkabau traditional song Ayam Den Lapeh. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the study identifies fifteen clipping forms and one borrowing. The analysis follows a structured sequence: research purpose, methodology, key findings, and implications. Findings reveal systematic morphological reduction aligned with Minangkabau phonotactic preferences, including the avoidance of consonant clusters and preference for open syllables. The borrowing biaro, originating from Sanskrit vihāra, reflects early cultural contact in the Malayic region. These results contribute to understanding morphological tendencies in oral traditions and support broader comparative studies of Malayic and Austronesian morphology

Abstract

Prosodic features such as intonation, duration, and intensity play a crucial role in spoken communication and are often influenced by a speaker’s first language when using a second language. This study aims to acoustically compare the production of an English yes/no question by a native British English speaker and a Javanese speaker to examine potential prosodic transfer effects. The data consisted of one controlled utterance, “Do you like noodles?”, produced by two female speakers (n = 2), both aged 25, to minimize biological variation in pitch range and voice quality. The recordings were elicited in a quiet environment and analyzed using Praat. The analysis focused on three acoustic parameters: fundamental frequency (F0) to represent intonation, intensity (in decibels), and total utterance duration (in seconds). Acoustic measurements were taken at the beginning and end of the utterance, and the results were compared descriptively. The findings show that the native English speaker produced a stable rising intonation pattern with increased intensity toward the end of the utterance and a shorter duration, which aligns with typical English yes/no question prosody. In contrast, the Javanese speaker exhibited a wider pitch range, decreasing intensity, and a slightly longer duration, suggesting the influence of Javanese prosodic patterns on English speech production. Although no statistical testing was conducted due to the limited sample size, the acoustic comparison provides preliminary insights into individual level prosodic variation. Pedagogically, the study highlights the usefulness of Praat as a visual and analytical tool to raise learners’ awareness of English intonation patterns and prosodic differences in second language pronunciation.
