THE STATUS OF FRENCH LOANWORDS IN THE INDONESIAN LANGUAGE
ABSTRACT: The inclusion of
French loanwords in the Indonesian language cannot be separated from the fact that
there have been contacts between the two languages. In the process the French
words underwent interference due to the different systems between the
Indonesian Language and French, such as phonetic and ortographic system, in
addition to the different structure of word formation of both languages. This
phenomenon is closely linked to the status of French loanwords in the
Indonesian language, whether they are interference or already integrated with
the Indonesian language. In light of this, this study aims to examine whether
French loanwords in the Indonesian Language are in the state of interference or
already have integration status. This Study shows that the majority of French loanwords
in Indonesian are still in the forms of interference. This is because these
loanwords are still in their original forms – French words. Other French
loanwords are already integrated with the Indonesian language, especially those
having undergone consistent adjustments through their spoken and written use.
