Abstract

Gairaigo as foreign loanwords, have become increasingly prominent in Japan’s public spaces and reflect the interaction between global and local languages ad cultures. This study aims to analyze the forms, functions, and factors undelying the use of gairaigo on Ishigakijima Island, Ishigaki City. Data were collected using a qualitative method through observations of public signage and were analyzed based on the theoretical frameworks of linguistic landscape and sociolinguistics. The results indicate that some gairago have undergone shifts in pronunciation and word choice, although their functions and meanings without change. The adoption of gairaigo in this region is driven by three main factors: 1) the nuanced meanings of foreign words cannot be fully replaced by Japanese equivalents, (2) effectiveness and efficiency in conveying information, and (3) aesthetic value, which is perceived as more appealing and in harmony with the Japanese linguistic sensibility. These findings confirm that gairaigo function not only as a form of linguistic adaptation but also as a cultural integration that enriches public communication in Japan.

Abstract

A wedding is a sacred event that is generally carried out by a couple, where they make a sacred promise before God to live together for life. But the solo wedding trend emerged in Japan and continues to grow until it is increasingly accepted among women aged 20-30 years. Solo wedding is a concept where women celebrate marriage without a partner. They will wear wedding dresses, have a photo session and experience a wedding similar to traditional ceremonies. In this research, a qualitative approach was used to explore the phenomena surrounding solo weddings. The researchers collected data through listening and note-taking techniques. Researchers will watch video interviews, collect data and then record the data for analysis. The collected data was then analyzed using reduction and grouping techniques. The research results show that there are 8 reasons why Japanese women choose to have solo weddings, 1) want to experience wearing a wedding dress 2) increase self-confidence 3) get married at a late age and to take photos 4) because they feel happy 5) having children 6) happier alone 7) too tired from work and 8) want to retake wedding photos.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis lanskap linguistik pada restoran cepat saji McDonald’s, KFC, dan A&W di Miyakojima, Jepang. Fokus penelitian diarahkan pada (1) bentuk strukturasi lanskap linguistik berdasarkan prinsip presentation of self, good reasons, power relations, dan collective identity menurut Ben-Rafael (2009), serta (2) fungsi lanskap linguistik berdasarkan fungsi informasional dan simbolik menurut Landry dan Bourhis (1997). Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan data berupa dokumentasi visual menu, poster promosi, dan papan informasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa bahasa Jepang digunakan secara dominan sebagai sarana komunikasi informatif kepada konsumen lokal, sedangkan bahasa Inggris berfungsi secara simbolik sebagai representasi identitas global dan modernitas merek. Strukturasi lanskap linguistik mencerminkan strategi glokalisasi, yaitu perpaduan antara identitas global dan adaptasi budaya lokal, khususnya melalui produk musiman seperti Tsukimi. Secara keseluruhan, bahasa dalam ruang publik komersial berfungsi tidak hanya sebagai alat komunikasi, tetapi juga sebagai representasi identitas, strategi pemasaran, dan simbol globalisasi.
