The source used in this study is the corpus ind_mixed_2013 in the Corpora Collection Leipzig, and the dictionary source used is the dictionary of Alan M. Stevens and A. Ed. Schmidgall-Tellings entitled A Comprehensive Indonesian-English Dictionary, Second Edition. The purpose of this study is to find the optimal candidate produced by the speaker and find out the relationship between the optimal candidate and the candidate with the most frequency in the corpus.

Then, BI speakers have become accustomed to using optimal candidates, except for absorption words that begin with the phonemes /p/, /s/, and /k/.]]>
