Britain and Australian may speak different in phonology, grammar and vocabulary to speak English.
According to Wardhaugh 1977, dialect is a “variety of a language associated with a particular group of speaker and mutually intelligible with
other varieties” p. 221. It means that dialect is a specific attribute that differentiates one way of speaking from other‟s. dialect may specify the
person using it since dialect appears quite uniquely to one‟s ears. Sometimes, one dialect may share a similar attribute with another dialect and other
verities. It makes a dialect has a great relation with other varieties. The term dialectology is used to refer to the study of regional dialect.
Modern dialectology got its start in Europe about century ago as a result of the interest of historical linguist in observing the spread of sound change. This
early work was principally concerned with phonology. Later work has considered other aspects of language, but phonology is still the greatest area of
concentration, with the lexicon in second place. Dialectology has been comparatively less interested in morphology and syntax. O‟Grady 1976,
p.327 The work of dialectology is often published in form of article, but the
most character form for the result of their investigation is the dialect atlas. A dialect atlas contains numerous map that exhibit regional in a language. The
boundaries between dialect and subdialect are represented on these map by means of lines called isoglosses. The latter are generally drawn with respect to

one feature usually phonological or lexical these lines are meant to indicate hat with respect to the feature of features in question, people on one side share
one variant while those on the other share a different one. Aronoff, 1976. Dialect has parts of linguistics features. The linguistics features are
studying the variable of linguistics. Wardhaugh 2006, p.143 stated that linguistic variable is a linguistic item and it has identifiable. The variable its
self is included the phonology features, grammatical variation, and vocabulary variation.
2.2.1 Phonological Features
There are many different sounds in single language. As competition of “r-less” and other dialects which illustrates phonological difference among
Hyams and Rodman, 2003. The linguist adds, there are many difference among the dialects of American English. Hyams and Rodman 2003. P.450
claimed to illustrate the different sound of English by reference to word in which sounds occur. For instance, some readers pronounce Mary, marry,
and merry in the same, others pronounce the three words differently as
mӕri and mԑri; and still others pronounce two of them.
From difference phonology features; we can find the regional dialect where a person comes from. As the example h is pronounced at the
beginning of both head and herb in British dialect. Whereas in American English dialect it is not pronounced in the second word. Then, in English
dialect h regularly dropped from most word in which it is pronounced in

American, such as house, pronounce aws, and hero, pronounced iro Hyams and Rodman, 2003.
According to Wardhaught, 2006 stated that structure of phonology features that have varieties of vernacular varieties in Unites Stated such as
verb -ing dropping. In this research, the researcher looks the utterances of verb -ing dropping used by Jack Bruno in Race to Witch Mountain movie.
There are eight features of phonology that appear in the movie they are, -ing ending, [d] dropping, [h] dropping, [th] dropping, [t]dropping, [be]
dropping, vowel changing, contacting pronunciation. One of the example is -in ending. For example, of -in ending in the movie

The –in pronunciation is also featured in Jack Bruno‟s dialogs which represent the distinctive dialect. It is by simplifying the pronunciation of the
–ing form of a verb verb + ing and words ended by –ing. The most common –in ending appears in the –in ending appears in the –ing form of a
verb above.

In this case, sound can also identify the social class of the speaker. A linguist Labov 1972b provided the example of sound that identifies the
social class where is the person belongs to. For instance, the pronouncing car and cart in New York City in their r-less verities are identified people as
using a type of pronunciation associated with lower-class speech in that city Wardhaught, 2003.
2.2.2 Grammatical Pattern
Dialect also is very grammatical pattern. Wardaught 1977 states that “grammatical differences among dialect are largely morphological in
nature” p. 221. Added that the variation of using vernacular form of grammar in the present tense verb forms, for example: Irfan go to mosque
every day Holmes, 1992, p. 160. There is also that the variation can be found in the use of past tense verb form, for example: the flies was
making… Holmes, 1992. According to O‟Grady 1976, p. 331 stated that southerner speech has special meaning in their grammatical such as
auxiliary verb omitting, auxiliary verb changing, preposition verb omitting, ya‟ll, might could, „about to‟ like fixing to. One of the example the
grammatical pattern used by Jack Bruno is auxiliary verb changing.
For example, auxiliary verb changing
