Abstract

This study examines the speech sound in selected children's song lyrics by AT Mahmud. The speech sound is divided into two characteristics, segmental and suprasegmental characteristics. Segmental characteristics are characteristics of sound that refers to orderly arranged sound units, while suprasegmental features or called prosody traits are sound features that cover more than one sound segment, namely pressure, joints, length of sound, and pitches that include tone and intonations. The objective of this study is to describe the characteristics of speech sound in a suprasegmental manner on selected children's songs by AT Mahmud, especially the musical speech sound by paying attention to the words or lyrics in the children songs. The lyrical and musical characteristics which are mutually integrated create beautiful harmonies in children's songs. This study uses a descriptive method with three stages, namely data provision stage, data analysis stage, and the presenting of data analysis results stage. The data analysis is conducted after the data classification. The result shows that the speech sound of the chosen Dendang Kencana's song lyrics has nearly the same characteristics of language and musical sounds which based on the identification of the suprasegmental characteristics of the musical lyrics.
