ABSTRACT

This simple research is about the analysis of the Javanese language of Banyumasan which focuses on the morphological feature of the verbs commonly used by the people in the area of Banyumas. The research subject is a text of Javanese story titled "Kerajaan Pajajaran ” (Pajajaran Kingdom) which is taken from the internet as the main source.

The purpose of the research is to find out what ‘verbs’ the ‘valences’ are appeared in a text. The method used in this research is qualitative descriptive research which all data collected are described. This research is to describe and interpret the exact data based on the content analysis.

1 INTRODUCTION

Dialect of the Javanese language of Banyumasan or which Is often called Bahasa Ngapak-ngapak is a group of language of Java which is spoken in the western part of Central Java, Indonesia. Some vocabulary and accents are also used in North Banten and districts of Cirebon – Indramayu. The language dialects are much different if it is compared with other Javanese dialects. The factor is caused that the language of Banyumasan is still connected tightly with ancient Javanese Language (Kawi).

The Javanese language of Banyumasan is known as the way of typical communication. This dialect is known as Banyumasan because it is used by the people who live in the district of Banyumasan.

Compared with the dialects of Yogyakarta and Surakarta, dialect of Banyumasan has many differences. The major difference is the phoneme ‘a’/ ʌ / is consistently pronounced the same sound ‘a’/ ʌ / not ‘o’/ ɒ /. when the people of Solo eat ‘sego’ /sƏg ɒ / (rice), in the area of Banyumasan, people eat ‘sega’ /sƏg ʌ / (rice) not ‘sego’ /sƏg ɒ / . In addition, words which are ended by consonant are read fully. For example, the word ‘enak ’ by other Javanese dialects are pronounced ‘ena ’,/en ʌ / by omitting sound /k/ but in dialect of Banyumasan, it is consistently pronounced ‘enak’ /en ʌ k/ by the sound of /k/ is pronounced clearly. That is why the Javanese language of Banyumasan is known with the language of Ngapak or Ngapak-ngapak.

In the era of modern Javanese language, there are some significant difference between the Javanese language of Banyumasan with the standard of Javanese language with the result that the people in Banyumasan appear the term bandhekan to represent the language style of standard Javanese language, or it is often known as bahasa wetanan (East Language).

According to M. Koderi (one of the experts of culture and Javanese language of Banyumasan), the word bandhek morphologically is from the word gandhek meant pesuruh (servant). It means people who are assigned by the king to the area of Banyumasan. Most of assigned servants certainly used the language style of standard Java (Yogyakarta/Surakarta) which is different from the Javanese language of Banyumasan.

Based on the background of the study above the writer is interested to analyze the morphological features of the word class in a text especially the word class of ‘verb’.

1.1 The research focus

The focus of this simple research underlies the aspects of morphological analyzes of the verb found in a text about the story of Banyumasan.

1.2 The research problem

Based on the research focus, it appears the research problem as followed:

1) what ‘verbs’ are appeared in a text.?

2) What are the valences of the verbs?

1.3 Objective of Study

Relating to the problem above the objective of the study is to find what ‘verbs’ and the ‘valences’ of the verbs which are appeared in a text.

1.3 Significance of Study

This research hopefully can be used for a language study and as a material for discussion for the learners of the Javanese language of Banyumasan.

2 THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

Languages are not just sets of symbols. They also often conform to a rough grammar, or system of rules, used to manipulate the symbols. While sets of symbols may be used for expression or communication because there are no clear or regular relationships its symbols to express clear and regular relationships between them. Donoghue (1975: 5) states that language is an instrument of social power. It influences beliefs, attitudes, and behavior. It may even be used, in its extreme form, to control and manipulate thought.

Discourse analysis is more interesting in how the sentences in a text are organized, how they relate to one another. Understanding a text, there are some linguists give the definition differently. Nuttall (1996:24) states that a text is a piece of language, complete in itself and written (or spoken) for a purpose. It could consist of a single sentence or even a single word, such as a sign saying DANGER! Lyons (1996:263) states simply that a text is a sequence of sentences. Whereas, Mulyana, 2005:1) cited by Zubaidah (Jurnal Bahtera no. 9, 2006:23) states that text is a very complete and complex language element. To write a good text, a writer should know how to organize the structure and content what they want to write.

Naturally, there is a great deal of interest in the structure of discourse, with particular attention being paid to what makes a well-formed text. Within this structural perspective, the focus is on topics such as the explicit connections between sentences in a text that create cohesion, or on elements of textual organization that are characteristic of storytelling, for example, as distinct from opinion expressing and other text types (Yule, 1996: 84).

3 The methodology of Research

The method used in this paper is qualitative descriptive research which all data collected are described. This research is to describe and interpret the exact data based on the content analysis.

3.1 The source of data

5 PARADIGM

Verbs in the Javanese language of Banyumasan can be formed from free morpheme and bound morpheme. Bound morpheme can be formed from some affixes, such as; prefix, suffix, infix and sirkumfix. (combination between prefix and suffix). The following data of those affixes are discussed below based on the data found.

1) ng~ : can be used to form an active sentence meaning. For instance: ngaweh (to give), nggolet (to search for). for examples:

ü Dewi Kumudaningsih ngaweh persyaratan … [no. 7]

ü (Dewi Kumudaningsih gave the requirements ….)

ü Silihwarni kon nggolet Raden Kamandaka . [no. 48]

ü (Silihwarni was supposed to search for Raden Kamandaka)

2) n~ : is not productive when it attaches to the verb. With or without this affix, it does not change the meaning. Such as; nduwe (duwe ) ‘to have’. It can be compared between two sentences:

ü Angger mengko nduwe putra lanang , … [no. 7]

ü (if we have a son, …)

ü Angger mengko duwe putra lanang , …..

ü (if we have a son, …)

‘n’ is also an affixation when ‘n’ replaces ‘t’ to form a verb. For example: tempuh – nempuh (to reach), tahan – nahan (to hold). For examples:

ü Bar nempuh perjalanan lumangyan adoh, …. [no. 30]

ü (after reaching the long journey, …..)

ü …… merga ora kuat nahan serangan tenaga dalam …… [no. 36]

ü (because he couldn’t stand hold the inner energy ….. )

3) di~ : is used to form passive voice from other words, such as diangkat (to be adopted), dijaluk (to be asked). For examples

ü Akhire Raden Kamandaka diangkat dadi anak . [no. 21]

ü (Finally, Raden Kamandaka was adopted to be a child).

ü Getih karo hati koe ialah sing dijaluk Adipati Pasir Luhung ……[no. 48]

ü (The blood and heart which were asked by Adipati Pasir Luhung)

4) mer~ : forms the verb from the base verb ‘tapa’ (meditate) – mertapa (to meditate) which means doing an activity to get something.. For example:

ü … nang gunung kuwe dheweke (Raden Kamandaka) ngadep pendeta Hindu sing lagi mertapa nang kana . [no. 14]

ü (in the mountain, he faced the Hindu priest who was meditating there).

5) ny~ : is a prefix which is replaced ‘s’ in a word to form a verb. For instance; samber (grabbing) – nyamber (to grab). For example:

ü Silihwarni lumpat metu sekang goa langsung nyamber salah siji sisa anjing pelacake . [no. 48]

ü (Silihwarni jumped out from the cave and grabbed straight to his one of the rest searching dogs.

6) ke~ : this prefix forms verb to verb which has the meaning of something done not in purpose. For instance, temu – ketemu (to meet), for example:

ü … akhire Raden Kamandaka bisa ketemu karo Patih Kadipaten Pasir Luhur. No. 19]

ü (… finally Raden Kamandaka could meet with Patih Kdipaten Pasir Luhur).

7) ~an : this affix can form or change the verb becomes noun. For instance: rebutan (struggling), serangan (attack), bungkusan (package). For examples:

ü … ben tahta kerajaan kuwe ora dadi rebutan putra-putri keturunane . [no. 8]

ü (… in order that the king throne didn’t become the struggling his children).

ü … kabeh prajurit kuwe padha nutup kuping merga ora kuat nahan serangan tenaga dalam sing metu sekang suara kuwe, … [no. 36]

ü (all her soldiers were closing their eyes because they couldn’t hold on the attack of his inner power).

ü … akhire dheweke metu nggawa bungkusan sing isine getih karo hati,… [no. 47]

ü (… finally he got out of the cave bought the package of heart and blood, …).

6 VALENCE:

Verbs are words or groups of words to denote actions performed by nouns or pronouns, or the state of being of a noun or pronoun.[1]

1) Most verbs are formed from the base verbs themselves. For instances; ngaweh (to give), nggolet (to search for), nduwe, diangkat (to be adopted), dijaluk (to be asked), temu – ketemu (to meet), etc.

2) Verbs can occur without any bound morpheme; duwe (to have), dadi (to become), mangkat (to leave), ganti (to change), mlebu (to enter), metu (to get out), bali (to go home), etc.

3) Not only in Bahasa Indonesia, the affix ‘di’ is also used to form passive voice in the language of Banyumasan; diangkat (to be promoted), dijaluk (to be asked), dijukut (to be taken), diperes (to be squeezed), etc.

4) Verbs in the language of Banyumasan can either be transitive or intransitive. For transitive, example: Angger mengko nduwe putra lanang , … (if we have a son, …), and for intransitive, example: Raden Kamandaka terus mlaku ming arah wetan (Then Raden Kamandaka walked to the east).

5) Some other word classes can be formed from a verb. For example: verb to noun: temu ‘meet’ → pertemuan ‘meeting’

7 CONCLUSION

Based on the description above, there appears some basic characteristic of verbs in the Javanese language of Banyumasan. First, like in other verbs in some languages, verbs in the Javanese language of Banyumasan can stand alone without adding affix, either prefix or suffix. Second, the meaning of verbs depends on the affixes which are attached to the base verbs, whether the verbs will have meanings of active voice or passive voice. Third, different from English language if verbs appear as a subject phrase the verb should be added ‘ing’ form or gerund, but in the Javanese language of Banyumasan the verb can appear in the base verb: Krungu Raden Kamandaka nyebut-nyebut jeneng Kerajaan Pajajaran. (no 39).
