Lyric diction of Indonesian and Malay art songs for singers. The International Journal of Arts, Culture & Heritage (iJACH), 1 (2012SE): 4. pp. 101-123. ISSN 2289-3121 (2013)
Abstract
There is so far no publication on lyric diction of Indonesian and Malay art songs for singers. The attempt to research on lyric diction of Indonesian and Malay art songs is to establish a system that is clear, easy and effective to any singer. Even though the standard Indonesian language and the standard Malay language spoken in Malaysia basically derived from the same Malay language of the Austronesian language family, there are many dissimilarities of words in terms of spelling, diction, vocabulary, and expressions between the two languages. IPA transcriptions will help the singers to enunciate and pronounce words of Bahasa Indonesia and Bahasa Melayu correctly. An additional approach to the existing IPA transcriptions is applied. The additional approach is the application of a glottal stop phonetic symbol [|] to the existing IPA symbols, which means there are two glottal stops [] and [|] used in Bahasa Indonesia and Bahasa Melayu IPA transcriptions. So far, the glottal stop [|] for the separation of two specific words has not been applied in Bahasa Indonesia or Bahasa Melayu IPA transcriptions, but this additional approach has been applied and experimented during a number of years of my practical teaching in lyric diction of Indonesian and Malay language. This new additional approach has proven IPA transcriptions reading to be clear, easy and effective.
