Abstract

Acoustic sound intensity is produced at the width of humans’ airwaves. Loudness or sound intensity plays a substantial role in human’s speech production. Intensity allows us to show the flow of tones as well as the contours of intonation in a speech. The intensity of speech in a language society also pertains to politeness. This article aims to determine the intensity of imperative sentences in Javanese society. The data focuses on exploring the intensity of imperative sentences spoken by groups of male and female subjects with different age criteria. To explain and answer the problems raised in this study, several steps or approaches were taken. An instrumental phonetic approach, as a method in studying humans speech (special concern on the imperative sentences form) is, thefeore, used in this study. Furthermore, to calculate and realize the analysis, accurate measuring instrument, particularly computer and Praat’s software program were employed. The intensity measurement and description, were carried out by adopting the IPO approach (Instituut voor Perceptie Onderzoek). The main activities carried out in acoustic study primarily concern this approach, among others: 1) speech production experiments, 2) speech acoustic analysis, and 3) speech perception experimental test.
