The influence of Muna language as a mother tongue and the difference between the morphological system of Muna and Indonesian is very possible for interference. This study was conducted with 20 participants from different community groups within the scope of Kecamatan Mawasangka, Kabupaten Buton Tengah. The data were collected using observation method with involved and uninvolved conversation, records and transcribing technique then analyzed using padan or Contrastive method to determine the presence of morphological interference. The result showed that Interference in the aspect of affixation in this research occurs in the formation of the prefix {ka-}, prefix {kafo-}, prefix {ta-}, and confix {ka-...-i}. whereas in the aspect of reduplication the interference symptoms are found in the form of partial reduplication of the Muna language morphological system. Finally, the suggestion in this research that it is expected that the readers can have better understanding about interference and be more careful in using language. so as to reduce interference or distortion in language. 1. Introduction Muna Language is one of the local languages in the territory of the Republic of Indonesia whose existence needs to be preserved. In its position as a local language, this language is equal and has the same role as other regional languages in Indonesia. Muna language which is found in the province of Southeast Sulawesi, has a large number of speakers and is spread in all districts and cities in the province of Southeast Sulawesi. Besides being used as the main communication tool, Muna language is also used in a variety of other social activities, such as traditional ceremonies, cultural and religious activities, and even is used as a language of instruction in classes at the elementary school level. mailto:dian_degeng@ub.ac.id mailto:esti@ub.ac.id 114 In speaking Muna as a mother tongue, the Muna people certainly have an effect on the use of Indonesian when they communicate. Moreover, speakers who are still thick with their mother tongue will be very likely to cause interference in the use of Indonesian. In general, the interference referred to in this study can be interpreted as a result of the frequent use of the Muna language which has led to the entry of the Muna element into the use of Indonesian language so that it appears that there are deviations from the Indonesian language rules being used. According to Hartman and Stonk (in Alwasilah 1985: 131), interference is a mistake caused by the tendency to accustom a pronunciation (speech) of a language to other languages including pronunciation of sound units, grammar, and vocabulary. The increasing prestige and usability of Indonesian as a national language has encouraged Muna speakers to master Indonesian in addition to their mother tongue. In daily communication, it is often found the use of Indonesian and Muna is used interchangeably in a discourse or sentence utterance. In this case, it is not uncommon to find sentences that contain Indonesian words but are accompanied by morphemes or other elements commonly used in Muna words. This resulted in the identification of the words produced as if they were not as Muna words and not as Indonesian words. In fact, the interference of Muna as a regional language against the use of Indonesian can be observed from a variety of phenomena of the language, namely phonological, morphological, syntactic, and semantic symptoms. Among the four symptoms, what attracts the attention of the writer to study is the symptom of Muna language morphology interference because in the morphology system of these two languages there are some significant differences. in addition, morphological interference is also interference that generally occurs in bilingual societies. Based on the literature review conducted by the author, research on Muna language itself has been carried out in various aspects of language including: Husniar Saribu (2015) by title “Perubahan Fonem Dalam Tuturan Bahasa Muna (Phoneme Changes in Muna Speech)”, Laode Sidu (1994) by title “Fonologi Generatif Bahasa Muna (Generative Phonology of Muna Language)”, Awaluddin (2010) by title “Afiks Pembentuk Verba Dalam Bahasa Muna (Affixes Forming Verbs in Muna language)”, La Aso (2006) by title “Inofasi internal Dalam Bahasa Muna dan Perlakuan Kata-Kata Serapan Dari Bahasa Indonesia (Internal Innovation in Muna and the Absorption of Words from Indonesian Language)”. However, among the related studies, no research has been found that investigates Muna's morphological interference with the use of Indonesian. Based on the background of the problems that have been described, then the problems in this study are: What is the form of morphological interference in Muna speakers in the use of Indonesian? The purpose of this study is: To describe the linguistic situation that occurs in Muna speakers in the use of Indonesian and to describe language errors that occur in bilingual people. 2. Research Methods This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach. Subroto (2007:5) stated that qualitative methods are methods of assessment or research methods of a problem that are not designed using statistical procedures". The purpose of using the descriptive research method is to describe the morphological interference form of the Gu-Mawasangka dialect of Muna language to the use of Indonesian from aspects (1) affixation, and (2) reduplication. The population of this study is the speech that contains Muna language interference with Indonesian among the people of Kecamatan Mawasangka, Kabupaten Buton Tengah, as one of the areas inhabited by Muna speakers and there is also heterogeneity of the people who use Muna and Indonesian languages. 115 The sample in this study was Indonesian speech from the Muna language community which was obtained from participants with the following criteria: Muna native speakers, adult men and women, no speech and health disabilities, education at least elementary school or equivalent, and can speak Indonesian. This research was conducted with 20 respondents taken based on occupation (employees, traders, fishermen, and students) in the scope of Kecamatan Mawasangka and fulfilled the criteria estabilished in the population and sample. The data collection in this study was carried out in several stages including: first, the researcher made observations directed at the Muna language speaker’s community in Kecamatan Mawasangka to look for participants who fit the established criteria. After finding the appropriate participants, the writer then conducted an interview with the Muna language speaker’s community in Kecamatan Mawasangka which consisted of 5 employees, 5 fishermen, 5 traders, and 5 students. In addition to analyzed the data of this study, the researcher used padan or Contrastive method from to determine the presence of morphological interference. 3. Discussionas Morphological interference of Muna language speakers can occur in the formation of Indonesian root words either by affixing morphemes in the form of affixation or by reduplication. Based on the results of data collection, interference in the form of affixation in this study only includes prefixes, and confixes. While the interference in the form of reduplication occurs using a partial reduplication pattern of the in Muna language. 3.1 Interference of Muna language affixation in the use of Indonesian a) Prefix interference pattern {ka-} The pattern of word formation with the prefix {ka-} of Muna language into standard Indonesian word formation is morphological interference. This is due to the fact that prefix {ka-} is derived from Muna language, where the prefix is not commonly used in Indonesian. In this study there are morphological interference data as a result of the application of the prefix {ka-} from Muna language into Indonesian language as follows: (1) Bilang sama mamamu, ambilkan katutup pancinya Bibi yang dibawa kemarin” Foomba inamu, namala kasongko nouano fokoinao niowa indewi (2) Kabesar ikan yang saya dapat kemarin malam, besoknya langsung dijual dipasar sama mamaku” Kabala ae pooli kenta indewi kohondoa, naewinenoa lansu noasoae nae Daoa Inakua (3) Katajam pisomu ini, dimana kamu beli ini? Kahoko pisomu yinia, naamai olie? The form of the words katutup, kabesar, and katajam, as shown in the data above is a form of interference derived from the prefix {ka-} + root word. The form of interference is influenced by the morphological system of the Gu-mawasangka dialect of Muna language namely: kasongko (penutup/lid), kabala (sangat besar/hugh), kahoko and (sangat tajam/very sharp). The formation of these words has a pattern that can be described as follows. 116 Table 1 Prefix interference pattern {ka-} NO Root Word (RW) Affixation pattern (prefix {ka-} + RW) Interference form 1. tutup ka- + /tutup/ /katutup/ songko ka- + /songko/ /kasongko/ 2. besar ka- + /besar/ /kabesar/ bala ka- + /bala/ /kabala/ 3. tajam ka- + /tajam/ /katajam/ hoko ka- + /hoko/ /kahoko/ 4. lama ka- + /lama/ /kalama/ limpona ka- + /limpona/ /kalimpona/ In the description above, it can be seen that the affixation patterns of the Muna words affect the Indonesian language used by the Muna speakers, so that resulting in non-standard words in Indonesian. The prefix {ka-} is a noun-forming affix which is quite productive in Muna language which can be distributed either with nouns, verbs, or adjectives. The affixation of this prefix in nouns and verbs has Indonesian meaning as follows: “a tool or something as stated by its root word”. Whereas the prefix {ka-} affixation of adjectives has meaning: “very’ 'for the root words that mentioned”. The formation of the words katutup, kabala, and katajam, actually has their respective equivalents in Indonesian as can be seen in the data extraction as follows. Extract 1 Table 2 The correct word form of katutup Language Utterances Muna foomba inamu, namala kasongko nouano fokoinao niowa indewi! Indonesian Bilang sama mamamu, ambilkan penutup pancinya Bibi yang dibawa kemarin! English Say to your mom, get the lid of Aunt's pot that was brought yesterday! Extract 2 Table 3 The correct word form of kabesar Language Utterances Muna Kabala ae pooli kenta indewi kohondoa, naewinenoa lansu noasoae nae daoa Inakua Indonesian Besar sekali ikan yang saya dapat kemarin malam, besoknya langsung dijual dipasar sama mamaku English What a huge fish I got last night, the next day was immediately sold in the market by my mother 117 Extract 3 Table 4 The correct word form of katajam Language Utterances Muna Kahokono pisomu yini, naamai olie yinia? Indonesian Tajam sekali pisaumu ini, dimana kamu beli ini? English This knife of yours is very sharp, where did you buy this? b) Prefix interference pattern {kafo-} The pattern of word formation with the prefix {kafo-} from Muna language into the use of Indonesian words is one of form of morphological interference. This is because in standard Indonesian does not recognize the prefix {kafo-} as an affix in forming words. Prefix {kafo-} is one of the noun-forming affixes in the Muna language. The use of this prefix can be distributed with nouns, verbs, and adjectives and has meaning: “something that is used to do what the root word states”, or also stated: “the habit ’which is the root word mentioned”. The form of morphological interference of the application of the prefix {kafo-} from Muna into Indonesian language is further described as follows. (4) Itu La Ikram selalu dia kafobanta kalau dikasitau orangtua La Ikram maitu kafotagali giagi ane Dofombae kamokulaa (5) Mulai mi mencuci sendiri. Jangan selalu kaforepot mamamu itu! Poangka metofa baewutomu kunaea. Koemo sadia kaforepo inamu yita’a! (6) kalo mau tenang itu jangan terlalu kafourus dengan urusanya orang lain! Ane gaumu sumanaa koemo sadhia kafoorosu bae urusando baindoa! The word forms of kafobanta, kaforepo, and kafourus as shown in the data above are a form of morphological interference of Muna laguage which is formed from the prefix of {kafo-} + root word. The form of interference is influenced by the morphological system of the Muna language namely: kafotagali (suka membantah / always denied) kaforepo (selalu merepotkan / always bother), kafourus (selalu mengurus / always take care). Interference of these words has a pattern that can be described as follows. Tabel 5 Prefix interference pattern {kafo-} NO Root Word (RW) Affixation pattern (prefix {kafo-} + RW) Interference form 1. bantah kafo- + /banta/ /kafobanta/ tagali kafo- + /tagali/ /kafotagali/ 2. repot kafo- + /repot/ /kaforepot/ repo kafo- + /repo/ /kaforepo/ 118 3. urus kafo- + /urus/ /kafourus/ orosu kafo- + /orosu/ /kafoorosu/ In the description above, it can be seen that the affixation patterns of the Muna words affect the Indonesian language used by the Muna speakers, thus producing non-standard words in Indonesian. It has been explained before that the prefix {kafo-} is one of the highly productive affixes for the formation of nouns in Muna language so that it interferes with the use of Indonesian from the speaking community. The formation of words influenced by the morpheme of the Muna languages such as kafobanta, kaforepo, and kafourus actually have their respective equivalents in Indonesian. So that the correct formation of words in these sentences is as follows: Extract 1 Tabel 6 The correct word form of kafobantah Language Utterances Muna La Ikram maitu kafotagali giagi ane Dofombae kamokulaa Indonesian La Ikram itu selalu membantah kalau dinasehati orangtua English Ikram has always denied if he was advised by his parents Extract 2 Tabel 7 The correct word form of kaforepo Language Utterances Muna Poangka metofa baewutomu kunaea. Koemo sadia kaforepo inamu yita’a! Indonesian Mulailah mencuci sendiri. Jangan selalu merepotkan mamamu itu! English Start washing your own clothes. Don't always bother your mother! Extract 3 Tabel 8 The correct word form of kafourus Language Utterances Muna Ane gaumu sumanaa koemo sadhia kafoorosu bae urusando baindoa! Indonesian Kalau mau tenang itu, jangan selalu mengurusi urusan orang lain! English If you want to calm down, don't always take care of other 119 people's business! c) Prefix interference pattern {ta-} Formation of the Indonesian word with the prefix {ta-} is also very often found in Muna speakers who are using Indonesian language. In the Muna language morphology system, actually there was no prefix {ta-} as found by researchers in the field. However, if seen from the meaning and function in Indonesian by Muna speakers, the use of this prefix is suspected to be interference from the {noti-} prefix which is also very productive in Muna language. The form of interference from the prefix {ta-} can be seen in the data as follows. (7) Biar saja bibit jagung itu tatanam dibelakang rumah! Taa tahomo wineno kasitela itua notitano nae kundono lambu! (8) Layang-layangku kemarin tasangkut dipohon itu Patawalaku indewi notikai nae puunosau maitu (9) Bantu saya cari antingnya ademu dia tabuang ditana Amba kanau Dae indofi Dalino andimu notioho nae wite The basic form of the words tatanam, tasangkut, and tabuang as shown in the data above is a form of the morphological interference of the Muna language which is formed from the prefix {ta} + root word. The form of interference is influenced by the Muna morphology system namely prefix {noti-} as in the following words: notitano (tertanam / planted), notikai / tersangkut), and notioho (terbuang / wasted). Interference of these words has a pattern that can be described as follows. Tabel 9 Prefix interference pattern {ta-} NO Root Word (RW) Affixation pattern (prefix {ta-} + RW) Interference form 1. tanam ta- + /tanam/ /tatanam/ tano noti- + /tano/ /notitano/ 2. sangkut ta- + /sangkut/ /tasangkut/ kai noti- + /kai/ /notikai/ 3. buang ta- + /buang/ /tabuang/ oho noti- + /oho/ /notioho/ In the description above it can be seen that the formation of Indonesian words by the Muna speakers is still affiliated with Muna language through the use of the {ta-} prefix on Indonesian words. The use of the prefix {ta-} can be summed up as interference from the prefix {noti-} because it has the same function and meaning. As explained earlier that Prefix {noti-} is one of the affixes forming nouns and verbs in Muna language which can be distributed with nouns and verbs. The prefix {noti-} if distributed with the basic form of the verb will have an inflective function and have meaning: “accidentally” in 120 Indonesian language. Whereas the prefix {noti-} that joins a noun functions as a derivative. Meanwhile, the equivalent of the word used in standard Indonesian to express “accidentally”' is the prefix {ter-}. The correct use of words for sentences in the data above is as follows. Extract 1 Tabel 10 The correct word form of tatanam Language Utterances Muna Taa tahomo wineno kasitela itua notitano nae kundono lambu Indonesian Biar saja bibit jagung itu tertanam dibelakang rumah! English Let the corn seed planted behind the house! Extract 3 Tabel 11 The correct word form of tasangkut Language Utterances Muna Patawalaku indewi notikai nae puunosau maitu Indonesian Layang-layangku kemarin, tersangkut dipohon itu! English Yesterday my kite, is stucked in that tree Extract 5 Tabel 12 The correct word form of tabuang Language Utterances Muna Amba kanau Dae indofi Dalino andimu notioho nae wite Indonesian Bantu saya cari anting adikmu yang terbuang ditanah English Help me find your sister's earring that was wasted on the ground d) Confix interference pattern {ka-…-i} Besides occurring with prefixes, the morphological interference of Muna language is also found in the form of confixes. Although the number is not large, the confix is very productive in the use of Indonesian by the Muna speakers. The confix is {ka-...-i} which states the meaning of Indonesian as follows: "whole (keseluruhan)’ as mentioned in the root words. The form of interference from the confix {ka-…-i} can be seen in the data transcript as follows. 121 (1) Kamanisi mangga yang dibeli mamaku dipasar tadi pagi Kamekoi foo niolino mamaku wae daoa hangkowine nsaaitua (2) Kalamai mereka datang, padahal dari tadi dihubungi Kalimponai do hatoa, gahaaitu nando nsaaitu do hubungiDa’a (3) Pepaya dekebunku kakunii buanya, sini kita pigi ambil! Kapaeya wae kaampo mani kakunii bakenoa, maimo dokala damalae) The form of the words kamanisi, kalamai, and kakunii, in the fragments of the above sentences is a form of interference that occurs in Indonesian basic words that are affixed with the {ka-...-i} confix of Muna language. The basic form of these words is manis, lama, and kuning, which is then interfered with by confix {ka-...-i}. Confix interference patterns {ka-...-i} in the words above can be described as follows. Tabel 13 Confix interference pattern {ka-…-i} NO Root Word (RW) Affixation pattern (confix {ka-…-i} + RW) Interference form 1. manis ka-…-i + /manis/ / kamanisi / meko ka-…-i + /meko/ /kamekoi/ 2. lama ka-…-i + /lama/ /kalamai/ limpona ka-…-i + /limpona/ /kalimponai/ 3. kuning ka-…-i + /kuning/ /kakunii/ Kuni ka-…-i + /kuni/ /kakunii/ The formation of these words clearly illustrates the influence of the Muna morphological system so that non-standard words are produced in Indonesian language. The formation of correct words in standard Indonesian for the sentences above is as follows. Extract 1 Tabel 14 The correct word form of kamekoi Language Utterances Muna Kamekoi foo niolino mamaku wae daoa hangkowine nsaaitua Indonesian Manis semua mangga yang dibeli mamaku dipasar pagi tadi English Sweet all the mangoes my mother bought at the market this morning 122 Extract 2 Tabel 15 The correct word form of kalamai Language Utterances Muna Kaomponai Do hatoa, gahaaitu nando nsa’a Do hubungiDa’a Indonesian Mereka semua lama datang, padahal sudah dihubungi dari tadi English They all came a long time, even though they had been contacted earlier Extract 3 Tabel 16 The correct word form of kakunii Language Utterances Muna Kapaeya wae kaampo mani kakuni’i Bakenoa, maimo dokala damalae Indonesian Pepaya dikebunku kuning semua buahnya, ayo kita pergi ambil! English The papaya in my garden is all yellow, let's go get it! 3.2 Interference of Muna language reduplication in the use of Indonesian Morphological interference in Muna language not only occurs in affixation but also found in reduplication systems. In this case, the Muna speakers often use the Muna reduplication pattern even when using Indonesian so that they produce non-standard Indonesian words. For the example of interference in the form of Muna language reduplication in the use of Indonesian can be seen in table 4.65 as follows. (1) Padahal sudah dari tadi saya tu-tunggu tapi belum datang juga Nandomo nsa’aitu ae anta-ntagiea maka mina nahumato Dua’a (2) Saya capek mi ke-kejar, tidak pernah dia mau pedulikan saya Ao wulemo a pa-palintae, BaBae nao heru kanaua (3) Tadi malam ada orang yang le-lempar manga didepan rumahmu Mohondo Bae mie mepa-pandono foo nae hoano lambumu (4) Siapa yang pindahkan bo-botol yang saya simpan digudang kemarin? La’ae mefogampino bu-butolo nihunsaku wae guda indewi? The following forms of reduplication words: tu-tunggu, ke-kejar, le-lempar, and bo-botol, are Indonesian words that are interfered with in the Muna reduplication pattern so that the words are not standard in Indonesian language are produced. The reduplication interference of the words above can be described in the following pattern. 123 Tabel 17 Muna language interference reduplication pattern NO Root Word (RW) Root word reduplication pattern Interference form 1. tunggu partial reduplication + /tunggu/ /tu-tunggu/ ntagi partial reduplication + /ntagi/ /nta-ntagi/ 2. kejar partial reduplication + /kejar/ /ke-kejar/ palinta partial reduplication + /palinta/ /pa-palinta/ 3. botol partial reduplication + /botol/ /bo-botol/ butolo partial reduplication + /butolo/ /bu-butolo/ The formation of the reduplication words above is clearly interfered by the Muna reduplication pattern. As explained earlier that in Muna language, there is a group of verbs and nouns resulting from a morphological process in the form of reduplication which is divided into perfect reduplication, and partial reduplication. When viewed from the form of reduplication, the words in the interference data above use the partial reduplication pattern of the Muna language where the second segment is intact. The reduplication interference of the Muna language resulted in non-standard Indonesian words because it did not fit the reduplication pattern in Indonesian. The formation of correct reduplication in Indonesian is as follows. Extract 1 Tabel 18 The correct reduplication word form of tu-tunggu Language Utterances Muna Nandomo nsa’aitu ae anta-ntagiea maka mina nahumato Dua’a Indonesian Padahal sudah dari tadi saya tunggu-tunggu tapi belum datang juga. English Even though I've been waiting for but haven't come yet Extract 2 Tabel 19 The correct reduplication word form of ke-kejar Language Utterances Muna Ao wulemo a pa-palintae, BaBae nao heru kanaua Indonesian Saya sudah capek kejar-kejar, tidak pernah dia mau pedulikan saya. English I was tired of chasing him. He never wanted to care about me 124 Extract 3 Tabel 20 The correct reduplication word form of bo-botol Language Utterances Muna La’ae mefogampino bu-butolo nihunsaku wae guda indewi? Indonesian Siapa yang pindahkan botol-botol yang saya simpan digudang kemarin? English Who moved the bottles that I stored in the warehouse yesterday? 4. Novelties Research that is relevant to this resaerch is the study conducted by Hasiawati (2018) entitled “Interferensi Morfologi Bahasa Bugis terhadap Penggunaan Bahasa Indonesia dalam Pembelajaran Bahasa Daerah Siswa Kelas VIII SMP Negeri 25 Cenrana Kabupaten Maros (Morphological Interference of Bugis Languages on the Use of Indonesian Language in Regional Language Learning for Class VIII Students of SMP Negeri 25 Cenrana, Kabupaten Maros )”. The result of this study showed that there was interference in the process of learning local languages in class VIII of SMP Negeri 25 Cenrana Kabupaten Maros. Forms of interference carried out by teachers and students in the process of learning local languages include interference in the morphological field in the form of (1) the use of proclitic na-, (2) the use of enclitic -ji, (3) ) the use of enclitic -mi, (4) ) the use of enclitic -ki, (5) the use of enclitic -kaq, (6) use of enclitic -pi and (7) use of enclitic -i. Another research that is relevant to this research is research on language interference in elementary school students conducted by Istiyo (1996) entitled “Interferensi Gramatikal Bahasa Jawa dalam Bahasa Indonesia pada Karangan Narasi Siswa Kelas VI Sekolah Dasar di Kabupaten Pati (Grammatical Interference of Javanese in Indonesian in Narrative Essays of Grade VI Elementary School Students in Kabupaten Pati)”. Based on the results of this study, it was concluded that there are two kinds of Javanese language grammatical interference in the Indonesian language, namely morphological interference and syntactic interference. Morphological interference consists of interference with morphophonemic process patterns and interference with morphological process patterns (including interference with the use of Javanese word-forming items, interference with the application of Javanese language meanings in Indonesian affixed items, zeronized affix interference, and reduplication interference). Meanwhile, syntactic interference consists of three types, namely the interference of phrase construction patterns, interference with the use of word assignments, and word pattern interference. This research conducted by Istiyo (1996) is considered relevant because this study examines the existence of forms of grammatical interference in local language in the use of Indonesian. Based on several previous studies that have been done, it is known that research that discusses the morphological interference of local languages in the use of Indonesian has been done several times. But from all the previous studies the subject matter is in the form of students' narrative essays. Research that specifically discusses the morphological interference of the Muna language in the use of Indonesian in direct public speech events has never been done. 125 5. Conclusion The manifestation of the Muna’s morphological interference in the use of Indonesian spoken by Muna native speaker in this study is the absorption of the Muna element into the formation of Indonesian language. The contact between the two languages causes changes in the language system in question, namely the presence of words that have an affixation pattern and reduplication of the Muna language with basic words in the Indonesian language. Interference of Muna language in Indonesian in the aspect of affixation in this research occurs in the formation of the prefix {ka-}, prefix {kafo-}, prefix {ta-}, and confix {ka-...-i}. whereas in the aspect of reduplication the interference symptoms are found in the form of partial reduplication of the morphological system of the Muna language in the use of Indonesian by the Muna speakers. 6.
