Gangguan Berbahasa Anak Sumbing pada Tokoh Ame dalam Film Serdadu Kumbang

This study aims to describe the form of language disorders experienced by children with cleft lip conditions, through an analysis of the figure Ame in the film Serdadu Kumbang. The character Ame realistically depicts a child with a cleft lip who faces challenges in pronouncing words correctly. This researcher applies a descriptive qualitative method with a psycholinguistic approach. Information was obtained by observing and recording Ame's dialogues shown in the film on the YouTube channel. The results of the study indicate that Ame faces various articulation disorders, especially in consonant sounds. This results in distortion or changes in word pronunciation, for example the word "sinyalnya" is pronounced as "sinyalnya", "ya Allah" becomes "ya awah", "tangan" becomes "taan", "menyiarannya" becomes "menyarannya" and "nyontek" is pronounced as "nyte". This disorder is caused by physiological constraints on the speech organs caused by a cleft in the lip or palate. As a result, oral communication becomes blurred, which affects self-confidence and the ability to socialize. This study indicates that children with cleft palate who experience language disorders require special attention, both medically through speech therapy, and socially by creating supportive environmental support.
