Martha H. Djama, 2021. NIM 321 417 037. An Analysis on Students Errors in Pronouncing Fricative Consonants: A descriptive study at class of 2019 English Department, Universitas Negeri Gorontalo. Skripsi. English Department, Letters and Culture Faculty, Universitas Negeri Gorontalo. It was supervised by Dr. Mery Balango, M.Hum as the first advisor and Fahria Malabar, S.Pd., M.A as the second advisor.
This research investigated the errors in pronunciation of fricative consonants produced by students. In particular, it aimed to explain the errors in pronunciations of fricative consonants in relation to distinctive features about manner of articulation, place of articulation, and voicing that were used in producing fricative sounds. In addition, this study applied Schane (1973) theory as the technique of analyzing the data. The data gained and analyzed in the form of a single word not in the form of a sentence. The results of this research are six fricative consonants that produced errors by students. Such as consonant /v/ that categorized as voiced labiodental fricative was replaced into voiceless labiodental fricative [f] and voiceless bilabial stop [p], consonant /z/ that categorized as voiced alveolar fricative was changed to voiceless alveolar fricative [s], consonant /sh/ that categorized as voiceless post alveolar fricative was replaced into voiceless alveolar fricative [s], consonant /th/ that categorized as voiceless dental fricative was changed to voiceless alveolar stop [t] and deleted at the end of word, consonant /f/ that categorized as voiceless labiodental fricative was changed to voiceless bilabial stop [p], and the last consonant // that categorized as voiced dental fricative was changed to two different sounds which are voiced alveolar stop [d] and voiceless alveolar stop [t]. The final results are English Department students errors in pronouncing fricative consonants sounds influenced by particular factors including lack of knowledge and overgeneralization about distinctive features used. Students are not in accordance with the rules of producing fricative consonants as well as the manner, place, and voicing used.
