Introduction

Perbandingan dialek bahasa jawa pemalangan desa wanarejan utara dan desa randudongkal kabupaten pemalang: kajian linguistik kontrastif. Kaji perbandingan dialek Bahasa Jawa Pemalangan di Wanarejan Utara & Randudongkal, Pemalang. Analisis linguistik kontrastif mengungkap variasi fonologi dan leksikon, dipengaruhi topografi, sosial, dan migrasi.

Abstract

This study compares the phonology and lexicon of the Pemalang Javanese dialect as spoken by the communities in Wanarajen Utara and Randudongkal villages, located in Pemalang Regency, Central Java. Phonological and lexical analyses are employed to investigate the linguistic variations within the Pemalang Javanese dialect. Data collection was carried out using interviews, observation, and note-taking methods. The results are presented using a qualitative descriptive approach, providing accurate and factual descriptions through narrative explanations based on real-life observations in the research. In identifying the dialectal differences between the two villages, contrastive linguistics and geolinguistics methods were applied. The findings reveal several phonological and lexical differences influenced by factors such as topography, social interaction, and migration. For instance, the word for [tree] in Randudongkal is [wit] with the vowel /i/, while in Wanarajen Utara, it is pronounced as [wet] with the vowel /e/. Lexically, the word for [pants] differs between the two regions: Wanarajen Utara uses [suwal], whereas Randudongkal uses [katok]. This study provides insights into the dialectal variation within the Javanese language in Pemalang Regency and may serve as a reference for further studies on Javanese dialectology.

Review

This study undertakes a comparative linguistic analysis of the Pemalang Javanese dialect, specifically examining phonological and lexical variations between Wanarejan Utara and Randudongkal villages in Pemalang Regency. The research employs a clear methodology involving interviews, observation, and note-taking for data collection, followed by analyses rooted in contrastive linguistics and geolinguistics. The abstract indicates a well-structured approach to investigating internal dialectal differences within a geographically confined area, which is crucial for detailed dialectological mapping. Overall, the study promises to be a valuable contribution to the understanding of Javanese linguistic diversity. A significant strength of the research, as presented in the abstract, is its ability to illustrate concrete examples of dialectal divergence. The phonological distinction in the word for [tree] ([wit] vs. [wet]) and the lexical difference for [pants] ([suwal] vs. [katok]) provide compelling evidence of variation. Furthermore, the abstract thoughtfully points to potential influencing factors such as topography, social interaction, and migration, suggesting a deeper analytical layer beyond mere description. The adoption of a qualitative descriptive approach ensures that the findings are grounded in accurate, factual observations and narrative explanations. While the abstract provides a strong overview, a full paper would ideally elaborate on the systematic phonological correspondences observed, beyond a single vowel shift, and offer a more extensive list of lexical differences to demonstrate the breadth of variation. A more in-depth discussion on *how* topography, social interaction, and migration specifically influence these linguistic changes would also significantly enhance the analytical depth. Nevertheless, this study effectively identifies and highlights significant dialectal variations within the Pemalang Javanese speech community, offering crucial insights for both Javanese dialectology and broader linguistic studies focusing on regional variations. It undoubtedly serves as a solid reference point for future research in the area.
