This study used descriptive qualitative method because it tried to recognize a linguistic phenomenon: the influence of Madurese-type reduplication in Indonesian utterances. Data were collected by means of interview.
This study found 21 Indonesian reduplications influenced by Madurese-type reduplications. Most of them were in the forms of first-syllable reduplication. It also showed that reduplication in Madurese does not always express the quantity of noun (plurality). Some reduplications were not purely reduplication alone because they were also influenced by affixation which then denotes particular meaning.
