Abstract

Nowadays, inter-country marriages are no longer a strange thing. Differences in parental communication patterns and the use of more than one language in the family affect the process of language development in early childhood, which causes multilingualism and differences in word and sentence structures from Indonesian to its inferred language. This study aims to determine the effect of Indonesian morphological inference at YouTube Ueno Family Japan on language development in early childhood. This study uses a descriptive-qualitative method with the subject being the Ueno Family, where the father is a Japanese citizen and the mother is an Indonesian citizen who is accustomed to using Javanese. Data collection in this study used the listening and recording technique with three stages of analysis, namely data reduction, data presentation, and conclusions with verification. The results of this study show that parents and children communicate in Indonesian, Japanese, and Javanese, which results in the discovery of Indonesian inference in the morphological field, namely the use of basic words, pronouns and nouns, nouns and adverbs, adjectives, abbreviations, reduplication, compounding and affixation me- and ber- which is a combination of Indonesian, Javanese, and Japanese as well as sentence structure errors in Indonesian. It turns out that doesn’t make the children confused but instead makes the children have multilingual abilities and easily adjust the language they want to say according to the situation. Based on this, it can be concluded that the language used by parents greatly influences the development of early childhood language.
