ANALYSIS OF THE FORMATION PROCESS OF SINJAB SLANG IN BATANG REGENCY

Abstract

This research aims to classify the patterns and rules of Sinjab slang formation. Data collected were obtained from two native speakers of Sinjab slang. This research employs a sociolinguistic approach. The data analysis process is conducted using qualitative descriptive methods. Interviews and data collection were carried out with informants who are young adults aged 35 and 25. Furthermore, this study categorizes the data into tables to facilitate the data analysis process. The results of the research indicate that the Sinjab slang vocabulary is not formed arbitrarily. Based on the analyzed data, variations in Sinjab slang forms and the linguistic processes involved therein are phoneme shifts, commonly known as metathesis. The formation processes mapped include: a) phoneme shift (metathesis), b) phoneme shift (metathesis) accompanied by phoneme addition, c) phoneme shift (metathesis) accompanied by phoneme release, d) phoneme shift (metathesis) accompanied by phoneme replacement, e) absorption of foreign languages, and f) zero process. Based on the mapped formation processes, 15 Sinjab slang formation patterns are identified. These patterns include the K2V1K1V2 pattern., pattern K₂V₁K₁V₂K₂, pattern K₂V₁mK₁V₂, pattern K₂V₁mK₁V₂K₂, pattern K₂V₁ngK₁V₂, pattern K₂V₁ngK₁V₂K₂, pattern K₂V₁K₁V₂ng, pattern K₂V₁nK₁V₂, pattern K₂V₁nK₁V₂K₂, pattern K₂V₁ngkV₂, pattern K₂V₁ngkV₂, pattern K₂V₁ngkV₂K₂, pattern K₁V₁K₂asgV₂, Pattern K₁V₁K₂asgV₂K₂, pattern K₁V₁K₁K₂asgV₂, pattern K₁V₁K₂askV₂.
