Abstract

This research aims to describe the conceptual metaphor of the Javanese character in Serat Centhini. Serat Centhini is the most extensive literary work formed by the Javanese song on Java and was written in Javanese characters using the Old Javanese language. Volume 3, part 5 of Serat Centhini explores the conceptualization of the Japanese character as it relates to the history of the emergence of life, body parts, and mortality. This research uses qualitative descriptive paradigm methods, utilizing gathering and interview techniques. The theoretical framework is based on the Lakoff and Johnson theory. The research results show us that Javanese people conceptualize the history of life’s emergence, body parts, and mortality into Javanese characters based on visual similarities, location or position, the sound of the characters, and their meanings. This conceptualization also reflects the acculturation of Javanese culture with Islam and the relationship between humans and God.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the refusal speech acts of Japanese and Indian people in the context of vertical relationship lines. The research employs a cross-cultural pragmatic approach with a qualitative descriptive paradigm method. Data collection was carried out using the Discourse Completion Task (DCT) method on native Japanese and Indian speakers. Data were analyzed using Brown and Levinson's politeness theory and Ochi Suzuki's refusal strategies, presented through a descriptive analysis model. The results indicate differences in the refusal speech acts of Japanese and Indian people within vertical relationship lines. Japanese people, in this context, tend to use indirect refusals, employing various methods to show respect and avoid offending the interlocutor. This is influenced by factors such as social status, social distance, kinship relations, and the speaker's age. Indirect refusals often involve expressions of apology and the use of different language forms. There are slight differences between male and female refusal speech acts in Japanese culture. Women are more careful in choosing words to refuse, showing a higher regard for the feelings of the speaker. In contrast, Japanese men tend to provide straightforward reasons for their refusals but still choose their words cautiously. In the case of Indian people within vertical relationship lines, the majority use direct refusals, as evidenced by their speech. Social factors such as social status and social distance also play a role. Both Indian men and women tend to deliver refusals straightforwardly, assertively, and directly (to the point).
