Abstract

This research aims to describe the pronunciation errors in the assimilation process committed by the eleventh graders of the Social Science Department 1 at Senior High School 2 Lubuk Basung. The researcher analyzes the types and causes of pronunciation errors in the assimilation process committed by the students. The main theories used are taken from Katamba’s (1989) book entitled An Introduction to Phonology, supported by McMahon’s (2002) An Introduction to English Phonology, and Gut’s (2009) Introduction to English Phonetics and Phonology. The methods used in analyzing the data are qualitative. The data were taken from 20 participants. There were 12 females and 8 males. They were asked one by one to read aloud a list of words containing the assimilation while the researcher recorded their speech sounds. After recording the data, the researcher tried to discover the pronunciation errors by listening to the recording repeatedly. Then the researcher classified the pronunciation errors into the types of pronunciation errors and found the causes. The results of this research are in pronouncing the plural marker [-z], the participants tend to change the plural marker [-z] into [-s]. In pronouncing errors in past tense marker [-d], the participants tend to change the past tense marker [-d], into [-t]. In pronouncing the negative prefix [-N-], the participants tend to change the negative prefix [-n-] into [-m-], and [-ŋ-]. The causes of the pronunciation errors were the Intralingual factor in which the participants lacked the ability to pronounce the plural marker, the negative prefix marker, and the past tense marker correctly.
