Penelitian yang disajikan dalam tesis ini bertujuan untuk menyelidiki perubahan leksikal pada dialek Melayu Batu Bara yang dijabarkan kedalam tiga sasaran penelitian yang lebih spesifik yaitu menyelidiki jenis, pola dan konteks perubahan pada dialek Melayu Batu Bara. Jenis perubahan leksikal diartikan sebagai varitas perubahan yang terjadi pada leksikal. Pola perubahan leksikal didefinisikan sebagai kecenderungan atau karakteristik perubahan yang terjadi pada leksikal. Konteks perubahan leksikal merupakan kondisi yang memicu perubahan atau keadaan dimana perubahan leksikal itu terjadi. Data dalam penelitian ini diperoleh secara empiris yang terdiri dari pengumpulan dokumen, interview dan observasi. Analisis yang akurat dan sistematis dengan model Miles dan Huberman digunakan untuk menguji data pada perubahan dialek Melayu Batu Bara. Penelitian ini menarik kesimpulan sebagai berikut, Pertama jenis perubahan leksikal pada dialek Melayu Batu Bara terdiri dari tiga kategori yaitu hilangnya leksikal, penambahan leksikal dan perubahan makna pada leksikal. Kedua, pola perubahan pada dialek Melayu Batu Bara yang dikategorikan: Hilangnya leksikal diklasifikasikan kedalam potensial hilang dan total hilang. Penambahan leksikal melalui peminjaman kata yang diuraikan kedalam lima pola yang spesifik yaitu loan word, loan translation, loan bifurcation, loan coinage dan loan clipping. Perubahan makna pada leksikal dipolakan kedalam penyempitan makna dan pencabangan makna. Ketiga, konteks perubahan leksikal: konteks hilangnya leksikal disebabkan perubahan social budaya, sikap terhadap budaya, kontak bahasa, perkembangan teknologi dan persamaan bunyi. Konteks penambahan leksikal disebabkan oleh perkembangan teknologi, social budaya dan kontak bahasa. Konteks perubahan makna disebabkan faktor psikologi, perubahan social budaya dan kontak bahasa. Perubahan leksikal pada dialek Melayu Batu Bara merupakan bukti perubahan leksikal dapat terjadi pada bahasa dan dialek mana saja di dunia. Hal ini dapat menjadi indikasi negative terhadap kelestarian bahasa tersebut. Dalam hal ini, pemerintah daerah Batu Bara mempunyai peran yang sangat penting dalam melestarikan dialek Mereka.

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
1.1The Background of the Study
Batu Bara Malay specifically Batu Bara Malay dialect is a dialect of Malay
spoken in Batu Bara Regency, Regency in North Sumatra, Indonesia. Batu Bara
Malay is one of Malay dialect spread across Indonesia. The speaker spread out
across 98 villages in Batu Bara Regency, particularly uttered by the Malay tribe
population and partly by other tribe who have been living and mingling with the
Malay tribe population.
Malay is a major language that spread not only in Indonesia but also in
neighboring countries such as Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore, the Philippines and
some parts of Madagascar. Malay is one natural language among thousand’s
natural language in the world and classified as the major language of the
Austronesia family... (Bauer: 1983).
To this day, Malay language origin is still debatable, Malay language origin is
a region where the beginning Malay language was uttered. There are two strong
opinions stating Malay Language origin. First opinion stating that Malay language
native’s land is central Asia region and the second opinion states that the Malay
language native’s land in one of the regions in Indonesia, the island of Sumatra,
which is the kingdom of Srivijava and is regarded as the first national kingdom in
2
Geographical diversity of speakers of Malay has led to variation in Malay
was called Malay dialect. Although at first they were a single origin because the
breakdown of the relationship between one group against another in a very long
time , then a group set a way of life and use their own substitutions according to
the nature and purposes of the state of their respective lives. This is due to the
emergency of various dialects in the Malay Peninsula Land.
Time changes all things, there is no reason why language should escape
this universal law (Saussure: 2011) Therefore, a language tends to change, even to
the world’s major languages, such as English, Arabic, French, Chinese, Japanese,
Spanish and many others. It is estimated the rates of lexical evolution for 200
fundamental vocabulary meanings in 87 indo-European languages such as
English, Spanish, Russian, and Greek (Page, Vendetta, and Meade: 2007). This
phenomenon also occurs in Arabic, with classical Arabic and modern Arabic.
Classical Arabic has its origin in the central and northern parts of the Arabian
Peninsula. This is also known as Quran Arabic. While, modern Arabic is more
commonly used in writing and in formal speaking all over the Arab now. Even the
morphology and syntax basically unchanged but lexis and stylistic of Modern
Standard Arabic and Classical Arabic are different.
Language is always changing. Language change is variation over time in a
language’s phonetic, morphological, semantic, syntactic, and other features.
Lexical change is probably the most frequent type of language change and
certainly the easiest to observe. Lexical change is manifested in every single of
3
preposition, conjunction and interjection. Lexical changes usually involve the
introduction of ‘new’ lexical items into the language. Changes in the lexicon also
occur, among which are changes in the lexical categories of words (their part of
speech), addition of new words, the borrowing of words from another language,
the loss of the words and the shift in the meaning over time.
Batu Bara Malay dialect is changing too particularly the lexical item of
Batu Bara Malay dialect. The word ‘bangsi’ which are no longer spoken by Batu
Bara Malay population regarded as one of lexical loss of Batu Bara Malay. Bangsi
is a kind of flute made of bamboo and blown from the upper end (Wahid: 2008).
The word no longer uttered in Batu Bara because the flute is rarely found now.
Another empirical exemplification of lexical loss is ‘kalimomo’ (dandruff), The
word is not practiced anymore and replaced by the word ‘ketombe’ which is
borrowed from Indonesian language. Another case of lexical change in Malay
Batu Bara is the word ‘lurut’, the word implies a traditional tool of Batu Bara
Malay communities used to peel woven leaves to be tender (Wahid: 2008). The
object ‘lurut’ is no longer found in Batu Bara because mat craft is no longer
practiced and pandan plant which is the base material for the craft is rarely found
nowdays; all of these are considered lexical losses of Batu Bara Malay.
Culture has profound influence on language change. The term was first
used by pioneer English Anthropologist Edward B. Tylor in his book, Primitive
Culture. He said that culture is ‘that complex whole which includes knowledge,
belief, art, law, morals, custom, and any other capabilities and habits acquired by
4
particular group of people, defined by everything from language, religion, cuisine,
social habits, music and arts. From the definitions, we can conclude that language
is part of culture, the inclusion of a new culture in the era of globalization was
inevitable to give change to the Batu Bara Malay, and this is the influences of
modernization of Batu Bara.
Language contact also has a significant effect on language change,
language contact occurs when two or more language or varieties interact.
Language contact is the use of more than one language at the same place. The
most common result of language contact is change in some or all of the language
…and the most common specific type of influence is the borrowing of words
(Thomason: 2001). The population of the different tribes living in the Batu Bara
caused the Batu Bara Malay society use Indonesian language in interacting among
themselves. This gradually impact on the lack of the use of certain words of
Malay Batu Bara and this caused many Indonesian words are borrowed or
transferred into Batu Bara Malay Dialect.
Attitude toward language is also having significant effect on language.
Language attitudes are the feelings people have about their own language variety
or language varieties of others. Attitude to language appear to be important in
language restoration, preservation, decay or death (Baker: 1995). The tendency of
youngsters in Batu Bara Malay dialect provides a significant effect of lexical
change to the language. They consider the words old fashioned and prefer to
practice Indonesian language in their daily lives. Besides youngsters attitudes
5
(Trask: 2010). The technology development could lead to certain words disappear
and formed new word, the word “luko” is no longer practices because the
equipment was not found in Batu Bara. The tool is ineffective for use. The tool is
a kind of bamboo designed in such a way and can only be used in narrow fishpond
and only accommodate a fish.
Linguist also predicts that rapid endangerment and death of much minority
language is an irretrievable loss to mankind. By some counts, only 600 of the
6000 or so languages in the world are ‘safe’ from the threat of existinction. On
some reckonings, the world will, by the end of the twenty-first century, be
dominated by small number of major languages (Crystal: 2003). The reality of
lexical change in Batu Bara Malay dialects is in potentially endangered language.
In addition, it is obvious that Batu bare Malay dialect is a new phenomenon to
which lexical loss takes place.
Having the previous explanation, it is feasible to assert, that lexical
change consists of types, patterns and context of changes. The word type define
lower taxonomic category selected as a standard or reference for a higher category
or something distinguishable as a variety. The types of lexical change defined as
the sort of change realized in the lexicon, which might be creation of lexicon, loss
of Lexicons like previous examples (Warsi: 2010). The word patterns indicate
reliable sample of tendencies, or other observable characteristic of a thing. The
pattern of lexical change defined as the tendency or characteristic of the way how
the change takes place in lexicon, eg. Pattern of lexical change of the two words
6
change is the condition that influence the changes in lexical. The context of
lexical change is the situation and condition in which lexical change happens.
From the previous discussion it can be said that lexical change occurred in
any living language, the writer also found those changes in Batu Bara Malay
dialect, and as a young woman who was born and raised in Batu Bara interested to
investigate more closely what types the changes are, how the patterns and what
the context of the change.
1.2 The Problems of the Study
The problems of the study is presented in the question of “how is the
lexical change of Batu Bara Malay dialect?” This question is elaborated into more
specific question, such as:
1. What are the types of lexical change of Batu Bara Malay dialect?
2. What are the lexical change patterns of Batu Bara Malay dialect?
3. In what context the Batu Bara Malay dialect changes?
1.3 The Objectives of the Study
This research is aimed at studying the new phenomenon on lexical
changes of Batu Bara Malay dialect. It particularly attempted to objectively
describe the lexical change as well as the ways and contexts of Batu Bara Malay
dialect change. Thus, the objectives of this study were elaborated as the following:
1. To investigate types of lexical change of Batu Bara Malay dialect?
2. To describe the pattern of lexical change of Batu Bara Malay dialect?
7
1.4 The scope of the Study
The various language change domains and the numerous classes (or parts
of speech) of language result in the researcher’s scope of the study to the lexical
change, particularly to the change of noun, verb, adjectives, adverb, pronoun,
preposition, and interjection of Batu Bara Malay dialect. Particularly, it is an
attempt to provide an objectives and explanative description of the lexical change
of lexical classes of Batu Bara Malay dialect.
1.5 The Significant of the Study
The purpose of academic research is to gain a better understanding on a
certain subject. The findings of this study are especially relevant in the field of
linguistics. The findings are expected would be contributed to a deeper
comprehension of language change and sociolinguistics in Batu Bara. The
findings of this study are also strongly expected to have theoretically and
practically indispensible significances. Theoretically, the research findings
expected would be valuable contribution for other researcher who will conduct a
research in the field of language changes. Practically, on the other hand, the
research findings would be beneficial as the evidence of Batu Bara Malay dialect
change which serve as a core embryo of consideration for language planning
policy of the government of Batu Bara Regency which is urgently useful for Batu
Bara Malay Dialect maintenance in the future. This study will provide information
to the Batu Bare society, especially Batu Bara’s local government of the existence
8
expected to bring awareness to the local government of Batu Bara to take action
CHAPTER V
CONCLUSION, IMPLICATION AND SUGGESTIONS
5.1 Conclusion
Based on the description, explanation and discussion about the lexical
changes, patterns and context Batu Bara Malay dialect in previous chapters,
conclusion is drawn as follows:
1. The changes of Batu Bara Malay dialect emerges on every single sort of
lexical changes e.g. lexical loss, semantic change and lexical addition.
2. The lexical change patterns of Batu Bara Malay dialect are totally realized
in various ways according to its type. Firstly, lexical loss is proportionally
pattered into potential and total lexical loss. Secondly, Lexical addition
flow under a crisp and concise method i.e. external lexical borrowing, and
this method comprised into: Loan Word, Loan Translation, Loan
Bifurcation, Loan Coinage, and Loan Clipping. Thirdly, semantic change
patterns are categorized into: Narrowing and Bifurcation.
3. The division of lexical change context in Batu Bara Malay dialect varies
and is considerably linkable with every sort single of lexical change type.
Firstly, Socio Cultural, Language Attitude, Langauge Contact,
Technological Development and Homonymic plays important role as the
influential causes of lexical loss. Secondly, Psychological Factor, Socio
cultural change, language contact, and technological factor, are viewed as
97
socio cultural and language contact are treated as the numerously sustained
factors of lexical creation in Batu Bara Malay dialect.
5.3 Implication
The conclusion drawn above convincingly yield a couple of implications:
1. The changes of Batu Bara Malay dialect occur on every single sort
of lexical changes: lexical loss, semantic change, and lexical
addition. The noun which contains the highest number of lexical
change bridges the attention of Indonesian influence, the national
and official language, as an easily naturalized language since it
consists of the same linguistic characteristic with Batu Bara Malay
dialect, not English which is from completely different root of
language.
2. District population is inhabited by people from various ethnic and
this leads to the high frequency of using Indonesian language in
their daily communication and impact on the lack of use of the
Batu Bara Malay dialect. Gradually, this will bridges Batu Bara
Malay as an endangered language.
3. The deviation of the number of every single sort of lexical changes
is definitely implicated by the influence and status of Batu Bara
people’s characteristic of life, culture, and technological
development.
4. The demand of times has changed socio-cultural circumstances of
98
ways, and this also increased to lexical change of Batu Bara Malay
dialect.
5. In educational setting, the various changes of Batu Bara Malay
dialect lexicon implicitly implicate that language standardization,
i.e. selection, codification, elaboration and acceptance, is not
totally employed, consequently it bears an en anormously
complicated problem impeding the success of teaching and
learning Batu Bara Malay dialect to the next generation.
5.3 Suggestions
Dealing with the findings of this research which are problematic, some
worth considering pieces of suggestion are provided below.
1. Language attitude play an important role in the extinction and
preservation of the Batu Bara Malay dialect and to raise awareness
of the importance of the preservation of Batu Bara Malay dialect,
the role official government of Batu Bara is highly expected.
2. It is advisable to the language users of Batu Bara Malay dialect to
speake Batu Bara Malay dialect in their daily life at home, office
and school. By doing so, their language attitude towards Batu Bara
Malay dialect will eventually increase.
3. It is strongly suggested to the local government of Batu Bara
regency to take into account about the maintenance and
standardization Batu Bara Malay dialect through the establishment
99
material, the existence of Batu Bara Malay dialect can be handled
down to the next generation.
4. It is also expected to the teachers, student and other practitioners to
make writing in Batu Bara Malay dialect. This technique is
indispensible useful to gain the access of another expert’s interest
and attention about the entity of Batu Bara Malay dialect.
5. To the linguistic. Researchers and those who are extremely
interested to investigate the practical techniques in decreasing the
number of lexical loss and increasing the number of lexical
creation of Batu Bara Malay dialect. Through this step, the
development of Batu Bara Malay dialect will emerge among other
tribes in Indonesia.
