Abstract

Cross-linguistic influences (CLIs) are the effects of one language on another where a grammatical property from one language is incorporated into the other. This paper investigates CLI occurring in an Indonesian-German bilingual child’s speech, particularly from the aspect of phonology. The data has been collected from the bilingual child between the ages of 20 months and 36 months. In the child’s language development, Indonesian is the dominant language. In collecting the data, diary records and weekly video recording were conducted. The study shows that there are five sounds in Indonesian used to replace particular German sounds: 1) the affricate [č] is used to substitute /ʃ/, /z/ and /s/; 2) the semivowel [w] is used to replace /v/; 3) the semivowel [y] replaces the sound [ʏ]; 4) the fricative [s] substitutes /ʃ/ and /z/; and 5) the vowel [a] is used to substitute /ɐ/. The study confirms that CLI occurs in the domain of phonology in simultaneous bilingual development.
