AFFIX FORMS AND MORPHOPHONEMIC PROCESSESBANJAR LANGUAGE IN PEMATANG LUMUT VILLAGE

Abstract

The migration of Banjar speakers outside South Kalimantan has resulted in variations in the Banjar language according to the new social and environmental context of the speakers, including those in Pematang Lumut Village, Jambi Province. This study aims to describe the affix forms and morphophonemic processes of the Banjar language in Pematang Lumut Village. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method, with data in the form of affixed words that contain morphophonemic processes in the Banjar language in Pematang Lumut Village. Data collection was carried out through observation and interviews. The results of this study indicate that there are four forms of affixes in the Banjar language in Pematang Lumut Village, namely prefixes, suffixes, confixes, and affix combinations. The morphophonemic processes found in the Banjar language in Pematang Lumut Village are (1) phoneme changes; (2) phoneme emergence; (3) phoneme preservation; (4) phoneme deletion; (5) phoneme position shifts; (6) phoneme changes and dissolution; (7) changes and emergence of phonemes; (8) disappearance and emergence of phonemes; (9) changes, decay, and emergence of phonemes. These findings indicate that there are differences in the morphophonemic processes of the Banjar language in Pematang Lumut Village with the Banjar Hulu language in South Kalimantan. In the Banjar language in Pematang Lumut Village, the affixes {maN-} and {paN-} when they meet a basic morpheme beginning with the phoneme /c/ will cause /N/ to change into /ɲ/ and the phoneme /c/ to undergo decay. Meanwhile, in the Banjar language in South Kalimantan, the combination of the affixes {maN-} and {paN-} with a basic morpheme beginning with the phoneme /c/ actually causes /N/ to change into /n/ and the phoneme /c/ to undergo decay.
