Factors That Contribute Code Shifting in Madurese People Writing (An Ethnolinguistics Study Viewed from Sociolinguistics Perspective) FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTE CODE SHIFTING IN MADURESE PEOPLE WRITING (AN ETHNOLINGUISTICS STUDY VIEWED FROM SOCIOLINGUISTICS PERSPECTIVE) Iqbal Nurul Azhar Universitas Trunojoyo Abstract: Madurese language is used by Madurese people as their means of com- munication in all aspects of life. A research-worthy phenomenon occurs in their lan- guage-written-form choice that is Madurese people tend to cease using Madurese language when they interact in written form. This is an interesting sign that there is somewhat different language use between spoken and written form and likely this phenomenon will become a threat to the existence of Madure language in the future.

Many of the uniqueness of Madura language that is not used in the speech, replaced with the Indonesian language. Recently, in Madura language communication, it is found the use of lexical elements that are not in accordance with the phonological rules of Madura Language. Consequently, in the future, Madura language will increasingly lose its uniqueness as a language, instead it will appear more as a dialect of the Indonesian language. Nowadays, the insecurity of Madura language has begun to appear with the shrinking use of this language in communication. Therefore, if there is no a very serious and planned effort, Madura language will be extinct soon; No longer claimed as language, but will only become one of the dialects of the Indonesian language.

Lingua Cultura, 13(1), 39-44. https://doi.org/10.21512/lc.v13i1.5362 ABSTRACT This research aimed at investigating the extent of accentedness and intelligibility as well as the acceptability of Indonesian foreign-accented speech perceived by native and non-native listeners, as well as finding their correlation to each other. It used qualitative research. The participant of the research was selected using purposive sampling. The participants were divided into speakers and listeners. There are six speakers and four listeners selected. The four listeners were native and non- native listeners who rated and transcribed six recorded reading of Indonesian speakers by means of SPIN (Speech Perception in Noise) test. The results show that native listeners rate the speech almost the same way as non-native listeners do. The speeches with clear and accurate pronunciation are rated highly accepted and fully intelligible, regardless of having a very strong accent. In contrast, less clear and accurate pronunciations, as well as a very strong accent of the speeches, are rated unacceptable and still reasonably intelligible.

Country and Project Name: Indonesia – East Java & Bali Power Distribution Strengthening Project 2. Project Development Objective: The expansion of the distribution network comprises erection of new poles, cable stringing, and installation of distribution transformers. 3. Expected Project Benefits: Construction of about 17,000 km distribution lines and installation of distribution transformers in East Java and Bali 4. Identified Project Environmental and Social Risks: Social Risks. It is envisaged that this project will require (i) use of no more than 0.2 m2 of land for installation of concrete poles and approximately 4m2 for installation of transformers (either in cabinet of between two concrete poles or on one pole); limited directional drilling (approx. 200-300m) to run cables under major roads and limited trenching (usually less than 500m) in urban environments, and (iii) possible removal of non-land assets (primarily trimming or felling of trees) for stringing of conductors. While restrictions on land use within the existing right of way apply, the land requirements for the distribution network (lines and transformers) are considered manageable with normal mitigation measures. Project activities will not (i) require land acquisition, (ii) cause physical or economic displacement; and/or (ii) result in adverse impacts to Indigenous Peoples groups and/or members of ethnic minorities. Environmental risks are principally induced by the establishment of the network across natural habitats and potential impact on fauna (in particular avifauna and terrestrial fauna susceptible to access the distribution lines or transformers such as monkeys or other tree dwelling scavenging animals that frequent semi urban environments), and the management of waste (e.g.

This research engaged 18 informants to denote Madurese color lexicons by showing 139 color cards. The referential comparison method was followed by sorting the decisive element technique through referential competence-in-dividing, and Connect Compare Equate as the advanced technique was used as the data analysis method. The research finds that 53 color lexicons with plant attributes in 8 Madurese color lexicons, namely potѐ ‘white’, celleng ‘black’, mѐra ‘red’, bhiru ‘green’, konѐng ‘yellow’, cokklat ‘brown’, bhiru ‘blue’, and bungo ‘purple’. Furthermore, these plant attributes can be classified into fruits, flowers, vegetables, seeds, spices, leaves, trees, part of the tree, and part of the fruit. The domination of plant attributes in Madurese color lexicons emerges due to the sociocultural factors embodied in Madurese ethnic group itself, those are (1) farming is Madurese main way of living, (2) Madurese ethnic group respect the nature as the place where they can pray and thank God, and (3) some objects associated with color lexicons are abundantly available at their surroundings, thus they frequently use it in their daily life.

  • The Lexical Differences in Madurese Varieties Spoken by People in Situbondo Regency Rhofiatul Badriyah Erlita Rusnaningtias English Department, Universitas Airlangga
    The Lexical Differences in Madurese Varieties Spoken by People in Situbondo Regency Rhofiatul Badriyah Erlita Rusnaningtias English Department, Universitas Airlangga Abstract One of the characteristics of Madurese variety used in Situbondo Regency is the lexical differences. Focusing on the Madurese variety used by people to communicate in their daily life, this study is aimed to describe the lexical differences and to determine the status of the lexical differences. Five villages were chosen as the observation points of the study: Demung (OP1), Tanjung Pecinan (OP2), Sumberwaru (OP3), Curah Tatal (OP4), and Taman (OP5). Using a word list of 450 words, a total of fifteen informants were interviewed. Beside interview, some techniques including recording, note taking, and cross-checking were also carried out to collect the data. The data were then analyzed and calculated using dialectometry formula. The results show that out of 450, there are 133 lexical differences. The percentage of the lexical differences between OP1 snd OP2 reaches 52.6% which means that the varieties used in the two OPs are considered different dialects. Meanwhile, the index percentage in six other compared OPs indicates that they have different sub-dialect status. The percentage of the lexical differences between OP2 and OP3 is 42.1%, OP3 and OP4 is 42.1%, OP4 and OP5 is 45.9%, OP1 and OP5 is 34.6%, OP2 and OP5 is 40.6%, and OP2 and OP5 is 42.9%. In brief, the status of the lexical differences of the Madurese varieties spoken by people in Situbondo Regency includes different dialects and different subdialects. Keywords: geographical dialect, lexical differences, madurese variety, situbondo, synchronic study Introduction As a branch of linguistics, dialectology becomes one of studies that attract many researchers to explore more about dialects.

Initial program efforts have focused on the major producing areas of the world to gain a broad geological understanding of the characteristics of petroleum occurrence for purposes of resource assessment, as well as for analysis of production potential. Investigations of production potential are carried out In cooperation with other U.S. Government agencies; specifically, the studies of the main free world exporting nations, of which this study Is a part, are carried out In cooperation with the Foreign Energy Supply Assessment Program of the Department of Energy. The estimates represent the views of a U.S. Geological Survey study team and should not be regarded as an official position of the U.S. Government. The program seeks to Investigate resource potential at the basin level, primarily through analogy with other petroleum regions, and does not necessarily require, therefore, current exploration Information that Is commonly held proprietary. In conducting the geological Investigations, we Intend to build a support base of publicly available data and regional geologic synthesis against which to measure the progress of exploration and thereby validate the assessment.
