CONTRASTIVE ANALYSIS
ENGLISH and TORAJANESE PITCH in MORPHOLOGY AREA
A. Background of The Problem
English is a major subject in all stages in school now. There are four skills concerned about language study: writing, reading, speaking, and listening. It means to master English as a language target (L2), students need to master the four skills in English. However, student’s first language (L1) is the most challenging factor in improving the skills of L2. Student’s L1 must influence the study of L2 in some areas (Phonology, Morphology, Syntax, and Vocabulary).
The writer chose Torajanese as the L1. It is because, Torajanese is one of the tribe language of Indonesia located in South Sulawesi. Since the culture and traditions have been known not only by local, but also foreign tourists, it is very important for the people to master English as the international language. Torajanese’s dialect is very unique, especially the pitch or intonation. The speakers express their feeling and purpose of their statement, command, question,etc through the intonation. English also has its own intonation in expressing statement, command, question,etc.
The difference between Torajanese and English in intonation must have influenced the study of English for the people. In contrasting the two languages, we can predict the difficulties faced by the students, especially when they are speaking and placing the intonation correctly in English. The prediction can be used as a reliable source in the preparation of teaching materials, the planning, and the improvement of classroom techniques. That is why the writer contrasted the intonation of English and Torajanese in Morphology areas.
B. Scope
This research was directed in Microlinguistic Contrastive Analysis on Morphology areas (pitch) between English and Torajanese.
C. Objectives of The Research
1. To reveal the differences between Pitch of English and Torajanese.
2. To reveal the similarities between Pitch of English and
