Abstract

There is always a hidden meaning in literary works, concise works like poetry. It is always there even though it is not visible in the expression of its words. This is one of the main factors that characterize poetry, a string of impressive, dense, and implied meaning. This study attempts to describe the meaning contained in the lyrics of the song Secret by Hamasaki Ayumi by using the semiotic theory of Riffaterre's poetry. In this study, song lyrics are treated like poetry because of the similarity in form and nature. The results of data analysis found that the main message to be conveyed by the author is freedom. The author feels confined and bound by his status as a famous artist. He feels that he does not have his world because his world belongs to the public.

Abstract

In Japanese society, the main concept in communicating is to consider the other person's feelings by not speaking directly, too frankly or to the point.  One of the grammatical features this concept is Verb ~omoimasu which means in English ~I think (I think…, I think….). In the result of the essays by the students who take the Japanese Popular Writing course. In his essay students should use these verbs which also function as hedges to express opinions or ideas but ignore them because they may not understand that the use of these functional verbs is to maintain language politeness, especially in communicating in Japanese. Seeing this phenomenon, the writers tried to find out by identifying student essays that do not use these hedges, and the possible causes. Then by adopting the concept of communicating in Japanese that considers the feelings of the other person, the writers have found out how the implications of using these hedges have on the values of politeness in language that have effect on the politeness of behavior of students who take Japanese Popular Article Writing lectures. With research that adopts the concept of communicating in Japanese society, the writers can create a language politeness learning model that is expected to influence behavioral aspects.

Abstract

The proverb hana wa sakuragi, hito wa bushi highlights the significance of cherry blossoms (sakura) as the pinnacle of Japanese aesthetics and floral symbolism. This paper constructed a discourse analysis of cherry blossoms portrayed in the haiku by the Great Four - namely Matsuo Basho, Yosa Buson, Kobayashi Issa and Masaoka Shiki. Three poems from each poet were analyzed as samples, accumulating to 12 haiku overall. To avoid equivocality, all 12 haikus observed would explicitly mention sakura with its kanji character or hiragana. The analysis would cover linguistic aspects and metaphorical interpretations associated to convey the portrayal of cherry blossoms in the context of that haiku. Further discussion of the analysis would have the creative representations of cherry blossoms among the four esteemed poets to be compared in six aspects – time, imagery, state, rhetoric, idiomatic expression and contrasting quality. With both linguistic aspect and relativistic viewpoint to form the discourse analysis, this shows that cherry blossoms can act as a form of display for personal philosophical values and personalities of the four Japanese poets specifically as well as the Japanese society in general.
