Abstract

Japan provides many opportunities for Japanese language learners to study in their country. However, researchers are aware that there are learners who are not familiar with casual conversation in Japanese language, because of many uses of shukuyakukei (contracted form). This study attempts to analyze the use of shukuyakukei in Japanese conversations between native Japanese speakers, specifically in a radio broadcast called Gintama Hōsōkyoku (broadcast station). This research used phonological analysis as the theoretical approach, whereas qualitative descriptive used as the methodological approach. This study focused on analyzing the phonological aspect based on phonological process theory to find out how and what sound changes occur in shukuyakukei. The theory used is the phonological process theory by Schane (1973), which includes four categories, namely (1) Assimilation, (2) Syllable Structure, (3) Weakening and Strengthening, and (4) Neutralization. The findings showed that in assimilation, there is consonant assimilation, while in syllable structure there are vocal deletion, consonant deletion, vocal coalescence, and vocal-consonant coalescence. Weakening and strengthening were including syncope and apocope. By learning shukuyakukei, it is beneficial because learners can increase their knowledge and improve their skills in using Japanese more naturally. It also useful to increase the awareness of the existence of shukuyakukei as a variety of spoken language in casual Japanese conversations.
