Abstract

Keywords: syllable, structure, type, song, ESA, EFL Abstract: Syllable as one part of suprasegmental features is enacted as a crucial aspect of speech in learning English sounds especially pronunciation and very different when they are uttered in daily interaction. This study aims to probe and appraise the relation between structures and types of syllables in each formation of the song. The data were analyzed using a descriptive qualitative involved 38 students at a higher institution in IAIN Tulungagung. The research instruments used in the research are the subtitle of the song ‘Goodbye’ in the English version by iKON, students’ practices, and interviews. The result of the study showed that there was linguistic problem involves the analysis of types and components of a syllable (onset, rhyme, nucleus, and coda) by considering the phonetic transcription and rank the sounds in syllable based on sonority hierarchy. In addition, it was also highlighted that linguistically, English and Indonesian pertain to two divergent language families. By all means, the sound systems of two languages could alter enormously and for this reason, the dilemma occurred in two close-mid and open-mid vowels /е/ and /a/ in (say), /æ/ and /e/ in (have) and the use of different phonetic transcription of the vowel as the nucleus. The adjacent counterpart speech sounds of /е/ and /a/ may lead to a positive transfer due to its similarity with the students’ mother tongue.
