Abstract

Intonation, the accurate high-low tonal speech of presentation, serves a very fundamental role in a language speech community. This intonation shows pitch movement as well as intonation contour of a speech. Speech intonation within a language society is varied from one generation to the next. Such differences possibly intervened by a number of affecting factors including age, the influence of foreign languages, in addition to the environmental influence. For that reason, personal intonation may change. The changes and differences on intonation is also seen in the language expression by Javanese language community in Yogyakarta. The speeches intonations expressed by the first, second, and third groups of generation reflect different use of pitch movement. This article aims to determine whether speech intonations distinguish pitch movement in the Javanese speaking groups accross generations in Yogyakarta. To provide sufficient explanation and answers regarding the purposed problems, several steps or approach are applied. The instrumental phonetic approach, a way of examining speech (especially in declarative, interrogative, and imperative type of sentences) is used in this study. Furthermore, to calculate and realize the analysis, the accurate measuring instrument of computer and Praat’s software assistants were used. The measurement and descriptions of pitch movement were conducted by adopting the IPO strategic phases (Instituut voor Perceptie Onderzoek). The main activities undertaken in acoustic research using this approach include: 1) speech production experiments, 2) speech acoustic analysis, and 3) speech perception experiments.
