Abstract

This study explores the semantic distinctions of three Japanese fukugodōshi verbs: ~owaru, ~ageru, and ~kiru, which indicate varying degrees of action completion. ~Owaru signifies the general completion of an action without focusing on the result or perfection, while ~ageru emphasizes not only the completion but also the production of something valuable. ~Kiru, on the other hand, highlights the complete and thorough execution of an action without any remainder. This research aims to analyze how these verbs are used in formal contexts, specifically in Japanese media such as newspapers. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, articles from Asahi Shimbun and Mainichi Shimbun were selected to observe the use of these fukugodōshi verbs. Semantic analysis was conducted to explore the nuances conveyed by each verb in various contexts, providing deeper insights into how they reflect different levels of action completion. The findings of this study offer a clearer understanding of fukugodōshi usage in formal communication and contribute to Japanese language pedagogy, especially for learners to differentiate the appropriate usage of these verbs in specific contexts.

Abstract

Seiza ni Naretara is a soundtrack from the anime Bocchi The Rock!. The song tells the story of the desire to become a constellation. Although soundtracks are typically tailored to the storyline of the film, interestingly, the story of Bocchi The Rock!! does not involve stars or constellations. This peculiarity sparked the author's interest in exploring the deeper meaning behind the song. To analyze it, Riffaterre's semiotics of poetry theory was used. Through heuristic and hermeneutic readings, as well as an intertextual study, the findings reveal that the song conveys a sense of self-discrepancy.

Abstract

This study aims to describe and analyze the functions of assertive speech acts in a YouTube podcast video titled "How Japanese People Express Our Emotions with Ryoma" uploaded on the Miku Real Japanese channel. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach, using documentation techniques for data collection. The data examined consists of assertive utterances spoken by two speakers, Miku and Ryoma. Based on the analysis, five functions of assertive speech acts were identified in the video: stating (19 instances), informing (30 instances), reporting (9 instances), complaining (2 instances), and suggesting (1 instance). The most dominant function in this video is informing. The results of this study show that assertive speech acts are used in varied ways depending on the conversational context and reflect distinctive communication practices in Japanese culture. This research is expected to serve as a reference in the field of pragmatics, particularly in understanding language use in cross-cultural communication.

Abstract

Culture is essential because it is the foundation of national character, a reflection of identity, and an ancestral heritage that must be preserved. The critical value of culture reflects the identity and character of a nation, distinguishing it from other countries. Culture is a legacy from ancestors that must be maintained and preserved. One example of traditional culture that is still preserved is kuchikamizake (chewing sake). Kuchikamizake is the forerunner of sake, a traditional Japanese alcoholic beverage. This research is interesting because the kuchikamizake manufacturing process requires virgins to chew the rice that will be made into sake. The manufacturing process is currently considered unhygienic and disgusting. The purpose of this study is to understand the history and meaning of kuchikamizake. The type of research used in this study is qualitative research with a library study method. This study found that kuchikamizake has existed since the Yayoi period in 300-250 BC. The meaning of kuchikamizake is seen as a cultural heritage, a sacred drink related to Shinto rituals, and as a Japanese cultural identity.
