SOUND CHANGES IN CIREBONESE By Didi Sukyadi Sri Wulandari UNIVERSITAS PENDIDIKAN INDONESIA
Background: • Cirebonese is seen as a dialect by both Sundanese and Javanese • Not all Cirebonese understand Javanese and Sundanese • Cirebonese prefer to identify themselves as Cirebonese not Sundanese or Javanese • Cirebonese want to create their own dialect
Cirebonese has • carried out Cirebonese Language Congress in 2007 • established Lembaga Basa lan Sastra Cerbon • already had “Kamus Bahasa Cirebon” • literary works such as Purwaka Caruban Nagari, Serat Catur Kanda • is taught at schools
Is Cirebonese a Language? • Language changes • Does Cirebonese change? • If we can prove that Cirebonese changes, then we prove that it is a language
Study Objectives (1) Identify sound changes in Cirebonese (2) Show that Cirebonese behaves as other languages
Methodology • Corpus: Taken from Cirebonese classic text “Serat Catur Kanda” • Number of data: 587 Cirebonese words experiencing changes • Theoretical Framework: (Crowley, 1997 and Murray, 1996).
Findings • Changes in Cirebonese: • loss of affixes, • vowel deletion, • consonant omission, • sound change in vowel, • sound change in consonant, • omission of infix, • change of particle /–ing/ to /e/, • omission of double nasalization, • borrowing, • word breaking • insertion.
Types of Changes • Aphaeresis • Syncope • Apocope • Lenition • Fortition • Assimilation • Fusion • Epenthesis • Borrowing • Word breaking
Vowel Deletion • Aphaeresis • Syncope
Aphaeresis • The dropping of initial segments
Syncope • The loss of segments in the middle of the words resulting in consonant clusters
Consonant deletion • Aphaeresis: the dropping of initial sound
Consonant deletion • Syncope: the loss of segments at the middle of words
Consonant deletion • Apocope: the dropping of final sound
Assimilation: one sound causes another to be more similar to each other
Fusion Two separate words became a single word
Fortition • Strengthening: continuants to stops, voiceless to voiced
Fortition: strengthening • Vowel /a/: (back/low vowel) __ /e/ (front/mid vowel)
Fortition: strengthening • U ____ i wus wis (back – front)
Word Breaking: • -Ira/ -nira, from the word sira • Vowel sira: KV • Consonant ira: VK
Addition • Epenthesis: addition of vowels to break up two consonants
