Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to analyze the influence of Sundanese language acquisition on language errors in the writing of narrative essays about holiday experiences by fifth-grade students at MI Muhammadiyah 2 Bandung City. This research employs a qualitative method. The qualitative method refers to a research approach rooted in post-positivist views, aiming to investigate phenomena in their natural context. The data collection methods used in this study include tests, observation, surveys, and interviews. The object of this research is the holiday experience narrative compositions written by fifth-grade students of MI Muhammadiyah 2 Bandung. The technique for analyzing language errors in this study is based on the taxonomy of linguistic categories such as phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics (lexicon), involving detailed steps to identify, classify, and analyze language errors at various linguistic levels. The influence of Sundanese language acquisition on language errors in the use of Indonesian is clearly evident in various aspects, including phonology, syntax, morphology, and semantics. Data analysis results from five samples show that there were 18 phonological errors, 25 morphological errors, 5 semantic errors, and 21 syntactic errors in the analyzed narrative essays. Factors influencing these language errors include regional language interference, lack of understanding of Indonesian spelling and grammar rules, and habits in using informal everyday language.
