Abstract

This research was conducted to describe 1) the level of Vocabulary and Kanji that students tend to use in essays measured based on JLPT standards and 2) the suitability of the level of Vocabulary and Kanji used by students in Japanese essays with the learning level that has been taken, namely N4. These two measurements utilize a corpus of data that has only been used for reading-learning purposes. This research uses a qualitative approach, and the data source is 53 students with data collection techniques, namely assignments to write essays with predetermined themes and questionnaires. The data analyzed is the vocabulary and Kanji students use in their essays. This research shows that students use 68.8% of N5-level vocabulary and 61% of N5-level Kanji in their essays. The findings from assessing the use of vocabulary and Kanji differ from their current learning level, namely level N4, which the highest percentage at this level should indicate. Thus, the target of students' ability to use N4-level vocabulary and Kanji at their current learning level has not been achieved.

Abstract

The development of digital technology has encouraged the spread of regional dialects into virtual spaces. This study examines the phenomenon of Kansai Dialect vocabulary usage that has become a trend on the X Platform as a form of language variation in digital communication. The aim of this study is to identify the dominant forms of Kansai Dialect vocabulary and analyse the processes of semantic change and linguistic adaptation. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach with a sociolinguistic design. The data consist of posts on the X Platform in September 2025, which were analysed using theories of semantics and semantic change. The results show that four vocabulary items are the most dominant, namely honma, meccha, egui, and shaanai. These vocabulary items have undergone semantic adaptations, including shifts in emotional function, dialect standardisation, semantic amelioration, and changes in pragmatic function. This study concludes that the use of Kansai Dialect on social media functions not only as a means of information exchange but also as a medium for self-expression and the formation of social closeness.

Abstract

This study aims to determine: (1) the characteristics of the Kansai dialect as yakuwarigo spoken by Kofune Ushio in the anime series Summertime Render, and (2) the use of the Kansai dialect as yakuwarigo spoken by Kofune Ushio in Summertime Render based on Abdul Chaer's sociolinguistic theory. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method. The data were collected using the observation and note-taking techniques, while theoretical triangulation was applied to ensure data validity. The data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The results indicate that there are five forms of shuujoshi with a total of 57 data, twenty forms of jodoushi with a total of 59 data, and seven forms of verb conjugation variations with a total of 51 data. Furthermore, the use of the Kansai dialect is not influenced by changes in setting or time; rather, it functions as a marker of the character's linguistic identity. Based on Abdul Chaer's sociolinguistic theory, the aspects of language user, language use, place of language use, and time of language use can be clearly identified, whereas the aspect of language contact is not found. Therefore, this study demonstrates that the Kansai dialect in Summertime Render is deliberately and systematically employed as a narrative device to construct the character's identity and support the coherence of the story.

Abstract

Metaphor is figure of speech that is often used in written and spoken works of art such as songs as a way of connecting two similar things without using comparative words. This study aims to examine the use of metaphors in PinocchioP's songs through Stephen Ullmann's four classifications of metaphors: anthropomorphic, abstraction, synesthetic, and Zoomorphic. This study uses qualitative descriptive approach with listening and note-taking technique on 27 songs contained in PinocchioP's BEST ALBUM 2009-2020 Kotobuki. It can be concluded that all four classifications of metaphors according to Ullmann's classification method appear in 26 of the 27 songs analyzed. There are seventy-one pieces of data from 26 songs in the album PinocchioP Best Album 2009-2020 Kotobuki. Abstraction metaphors appear most frequently in the lyrics of PinocchioP's songs with 39 pieces of data. Anthropomorphic and synesthetic metaphors appear 12 times respectively. Zoomorphic appeared last with eight instances. This shows that metaphors are one of the linguistic tools frequently used by PinocchioP. The meaning conveyed by each metaphor also depends on the context of the song lyrics and their relationship to the theme. Most of the themes raised are “relationships,” either with other people (Kimi mo Warui Hito de Yokatta, Yozurina) or with oneself (Slow Motion, Motivation ga Shindeiru) or even to Hatsune Miku herself (Aisarenakute mo Kimi ga Iru, 10-nengo no VOCALOID no Uta). The role of this theme supports the use of metaphors as a way for PinocchioP to give deep impression and impact in the lyrics of his songs.
