Abstract :

This study aims to describe the lexical differences found in the Javanese varieties spoken by people in the western and eastern parts of Blitar Regency and to determine the status of the lexical differences. The data were obtained from four observation points in the eastern and western parts of Blitar Regency and were collected through interview, recording and note taking, and crosscheck. The analysis of the lexical differences was carried out by comparing and contrasting the lexical items obtained; whereas, the status of the lexical differences was determined by using lexical dialectometry. The findings of this study show that out of 400 glosses, there are 121 lexical differences which mostly occur due to the different geographical conditions of the observation points. Furthermore, some of the observation points compared have the status of different subdialects; while some others have the status of different dialects. In brief, the Javanese varieties spoken by people in the western and eastern parts of Blitar Regency are different dialects.
