- Abstract
Language differences in each region become a characteristic of Indonesia, which often causes misunderstanding of meanings among the community. This phenomenon frequently occurs in communication, either direct or indirect communication with speakers of different languages. One of the issues is the complex and dramatic use of homonym. This research aims to identify the homonym vocabularies in Indonesian and Sundanese that are prone to be mispronounced due to possessing different lexical meanings. This research is a qualitative-descriptive with a semantic theoretical approach. The data were Indonesian and Sundanese homonym vocabularies obtained from dictionaries. The data were collected through literature study technique. Then, the data were analysed by using the Miles and Huberman analysis model. This research found 200 homonym vocabularies in Indonesian and Sundanese. It consisted of 180 homographic homophones, 10 non-homographic homophones, and 10 homographic non-homophones. The finding of the study is expected to inform language users in minimizing the potentials of misunderstanding.
