An acoustic analysis of /Ɛ/ and /Ɔ/ in the Kelantan dialect / Raja Nurul Nadia Raja Abdul Razak

This study aims to describe the vowels /ɛ/ and /ɔ/ of Kelantan dialect (KD) with acoustic analysis between two groups of speakers. The first group is born, raised, and live in Kelantan (KDPP) while the second group is born and raised in Kelantan but currently stay in Klang Valley (KDKL). This res...

description This study aims to describe the vowels /ɛ/ and /ɔ/ of Kelantan dialect (KD) with acoustic analysis between two groups of speakers. The first group is born, raised, and live in Kelantan (KDPP) while the second group is born and raised in Kelantan but currently stay in Klang Valley (KDKL). This research uses an instrumental analysis approach where an interview with the speakers is conducted in order to gather the data. The collected data are measured and analysed using Praat developed by Boersma and Weenink (2017). This research is to provide a quantitative analysis on two of the very significant vowels in Kelantan dialect, /ɛ/ and /ɔ/. This study also intends to compare the /ɛ/ and /ɔ/ vowels of KDPP and KDKL speakers, to see to what extent does the difference of /ɛ/ and /ɔ/ vowel realisation between KDPP and KDKL speakers. It is believed that it could provide a further understanding on KD and how the vowel quality differs between the two groups. The findings reveal that the vowel /ɛ/ and /ɔ/ between KDPP and KDKL speakers both male and female are realised differently and none of them are conflated completely as one vowel. The production of /ɛ/ and /ɔ/ vowels between KDPP and KDKL in this study is not entirely similar due to several reasons. vowel /ɛ/ and /ɔ/ in this study both for KDPP and KDKL are not realised based on sound patterns of the KD vowels.
