The sound w in the word “kalawija” [ kΛlΛwijΛ] replaced the sound k in the previous word “wala” [wΛlΛ.]. In this case, the phonological process was changed, from plosive into glide semi vowel consonant. As it was discussed in the previous, the sound k was plosive consonant, whereas the sound w was semi vowel consonant which the speech sounds on the border line between vowels and consonants. The sound w in the word “wala” [ wΛlΛ] occurred because there is a lesser degree of lip-rounding and raising of the tongue when an opener vowel follows.

4.2.2 Perseveration

Perseverations occurred when an earlier segment replaced a later item. In this analysis, there were 3 perseverations. In the list below, the data were presented in brief explanation. 1 Before we arrive to Soegiyapratoto Street, let me explain about Tugu Muda because we will see Tugu Muda next b ɪˈfͻ:r wi: ǝˈraɪv tu: Soegiyapratoto stri:t, let mi: ɪkˈspleɪn ǝˈbaʊt Tugu Muda b ɪˈkɒz wi: wɪl si: Tugu Muda nekst Based on utterance above, it could be seen that the speaker, in this case the first participant Student 1 pronounced the word “Soegiyapratoto” incorrectly. It should be pronounced “Soegiyapranoto”, because the next word after the word “Soegiyapranoto” is the sound “to”, so it affected the speaker to change the sound n became t. The sound n was included into nasal consonant which the air goes out through the nose, whereas the sound t was into plosive or stop consonant which the air meets with a complete stoppage or complete obstruction somewhere in the mouth. In this case, the phonological process was changed, from nasal into plosive consonant. 2 In the other hoom, there is room for execute the prisoner with cut their head off ɪn ði: ˈΛðǝ r ˈhu:m, ðǝr ɪz ˈru:m fͻ:r ˈeksɪkju:t ðǝ ˈprɪzeɪnǝr wɪð kΛt ðear hed ͻ:f Based on the utterance above, the second participant Student 2 pronounced the word “hoom” [ ˈhu:m] in his utterances.

He should pronounced that word became “room” [ ˈru:m] because in the next utterance he gave further explanation about the function of the word. In this case, the sound r and h were fricative consonant. The sound r was a voiced postalveolar fricative which the vocal cords were made to vibrate and the lips were a bit rounded. Whereas, the sound h was a voiceless glottal fricative which the vocal cords were not made to vibrate. 3 This is gebruk … better than Jep.. jhan Kudus city ð ɪs ɪz gebruk… ˈbetǝr ðæn Jep.. jǝn Kudus sɪtɪ Based on the utterance above, the speaker, in this case the fifth participant Student 5 pronounced the word “jhan” [d ӡǝn] in her utterances.
