Teknik pengejaan Suku Kata Tertutup Bahasa Melayu KVK secara Regresif (Dari Belakang Ke Depan): Satu analisis teori pengsukukataan Bahasa Melayu

Abstract

This study is a study related to the technique of spelling closed syllables in Malay (KVK). The objective of this study is to describe the technique of spelling closed syllables regressively (from back to front) by using Malay syllabification theory. The research method used in this study is a qualitative method that using the Malay syllabification theory modified from Goldsmith's syllabification theory (2011). The qualitative study used in this study is a bibliographic method, which involves reading written materials related to Goldsmith's (2011) syllabification theory and its application to Malay syllables. The findings of this study are an explanation related to the technique of spelling closed syllables (KVK) in Malay language. This technique of spelling closed syllables begins with the sounding of phonemes or letters that follow the International Phonetic Alphabets (IPA) phoneme sound and then the process of spelling closed syllables regressively, that is from right to left. This spelling process is that the vowel in the nucleus position needs to be combined with the consonant in the coda position to form a rhyming sound (VK). In the next step, the consonant in the onset position will be combined with the previous rhyme sound to produce the sound of the closed syllable KVK. In conclusion, this study is expected to be able to make it easier for teachers to teach pupils or children about closed syllables in Malay language.
