Abstract :

AbstrakTulisan  ini  merupakan  penelitian  kontrastif/komparatif  dari  proses  fonologis  utama  dalam  dua varietas  Bahasa  Arab:  Suriah  Damaskus  dan  Yaman  Tihami.  Penelitian  ini  mencoba  menentukan persamaan dan perbedaan dua varietas tersebut. Data dalam penelitian ini dikumpulkan dari penutur asli bahasa Arab Suriah dan Yaman Tihameni berusia 6 sampai 60 tahun, berjenis kelamin laki-laki dan perempuan, dan dari berbagai latar belakang pendidikan dan profesi. Data diambil dari rekaman pembicaraan sehari-hari berupa percakapan maupun argumen dari beberapa informan yang terpilih di ranah pribadi atau publik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kedua dialek memiliki kesamaan dalam semua proses fonologi. Keduanya menunjukkan fitur yang hampir sama untuk proses asimilasi, faringalisasi, imalah, sinkop, dan epentesis. Namun, kedua dialek tampaknya memiliki fitur yang sedikit berbeda untuk proses rangkap, glottalisation, harmoni vokal, pemendekan dan pemanjangan vokal, dan penghapusan konsonan. Kedua dialek tersebut menjadi contoh varietas dialek silang yang ditemukan dalam proses fonologis utama dalam Bahasa Arab.Kata kunci: asimilasi, bahasa Arab, fonologi, Suriah, YamanAbstractThis paper is a comparative/contrastive investigation of the major phonological processes in two Arabic varieties: Damascene Syrian and Tihami Yemeni.  It pinpoints the similarities and dissimilarities between those two varieties. The data in this study were collected from native speakers of Arabic Syria and Yemen Tihameni aged 6 to 60 years, both males and females belonging to different professions and educational levels. The materials used in this study were the recordings of samples of various casual conversations, arguments and chatting of the selected informants from both groups both in public and private places. The result of the study shows that both dialects share all the phonological processes being investigated.  They exhibit almost identical features as to the processes of assimilation, pharyngealisation, imalah, syncope, and epenthesis.  However, the two dialects seem to have slightly different features as to the processes of gemination, glottalisation, vowel harmony, vowel shortening and lengthening and consonant deletion.  The two dialects investigated here exemplify the cross- dialectal variety found in the major phonological processes in Arabic.
