FENOMENA INTERFERENSI BAHASA MELAYU TERHADAP BAHASA INDONESIA PADA MASYARAKAT KELURAHAN TAREMPA KABUPATEN KEPULAUAN ANAMBAS

Abstract

Language interference is a common phenomenon in bilingual communities,
particularly in areas where local languages are actively used alongside Indonesian.
In Tarempa Village, Siantan District, Anambas Islands Regency, the intensive use
of Malay in daily communication potentially influences the use of Indonesian. This
study aims to describe the forms and types of Malay language interference in
Indonesian spoken by the local community. The research employed a descriptive
qualitative approach. Data were collected through observation, non-participant
observation (Simak Bebas Libat Cakap/SBLC), audio recording, and
documentation. The data consisted of spoken utterances containing elements of
malay interference. The findings reveal that Malay language interference in
Indonesian is predominantly manifested in lexical and phonological forms. Lexical
interference appears through the use of Malay vocabulary in Indonesian utterances,
while phonological interference is reflected in pronunciation changes influenced by
the Malay sound system. These interferences are primarily caused by the
community's bilingualism, the dominant use of Malay as the first language, and the
close linguistic relationship between Malay and Indonesian. The findings confirm
that language contact within bilingual communities significantly contributes to the
occurrence of language interference while also reflecting the preservation of local
linguistic identity in everyday communication.
