Abstract :
Language varieties are common in any places which consist of heterogeneous people in each region. Tuban is one example of town which consists of many regions with heterogeneous people and has language varieties of each region. In this paper, the author focused only on two regions: Kingking and Karangsari. This study was aimed at analyzing dialect varieties spoken in Kingking and Karangsari by using the 200 basic vocabularies proposed by Morish Swadesh. The author used phonology, morphology, and semantic analysis. The study found 103 lexicons from Kingking and Karangsari that are different from other Tuban dialects. First, there are phonological differences: nine lexicons undergoing vowel change, six lexicons undergoing consonant change, and seven lexicons undergoing sound omission. On morphological differences, there are 36 lexicons undergoing coinage process, eight lexicons undergoing borrowing process, two lexicons undergoing blending process, three lexicons undergoing clipping process, three lexicons undergoing conversion, 16 lexicons undergoing derivation process, two lexicons undergoing reduplication process, and 12 lexicons undergoing multiple processes. Third is semantic difference, that is change in meaning, which involved 19 lexicons. After differentiating lexicons through three analyses, the author obtained 51.5% as the percentage of lexicon criteria. And according to the criteria of isolect or lexicon, the number 51.5% must be assumed as dialect differences.
