Abstract

This research deals with the problem of phonemic correspondence vocal of Proto-Austronesian (PAN) and Perai Isolect (PI). The description of vocal correspondence can not be separated from synchronic phonology overview on PI. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to describe vocal PI on one side, and correspondence with PAN on the other side. Phonology description of PI is examined by generative phonology approach, and further it is done by comparative method to reveal the reflection of PAN in PI. The type of data used is oral and written data. The source of oral data was taken from native speaker, meanwhile written data was taken from various relevant sources, especially for PAN data. In analysis used by comparison method and top-down reconstruction deductive. Synchronically, PI has 5. There are vowels /i/, /u/, /e/, /o/ and / a /. The syllable pattern of PI is VC with maximum vocal replaying rules is VV. Diachronically, PI phonemes are reflected from PAN, both linear and partial. All of vocal PAN are corresponded with PI, except PAN */ə/ which heritance separately.
