Abstract

One of the characteristics of Japanese that is different from other languages is the use of the verbs giving and receiving. The variety of verbs of giving and receiving in Japanese is more numerous and involves factors outside the language. In this paper, we discuss how to use the verbs of giving and receiving in terms of internal factors in the Japanese language and culture. By using a qualitative paradigm, the data were analyzed using the verb give-accept. The theories used include Japanese syntactic and semantic theory, sociolinguistics, and Japanese culture. From the results of the analysis, it was found that in understanding its use, it is necessary not only to understand linguistics but also to understand Japanese socio-culture. An understanding of social concepts is needed, especially the dichotomy of social distance “Uchi-Soto” and social status “jogekankei” to determine the variety and style of verbs used. Cultural factors about empathy are also important to determine the level of empathy that a speaker gives based on his point of view.

Abstract

Shabondama is a children's song whose lyrics are composed by Ujo Noguchi. This song tells about a game of soap balloons. Interestingly, even though it tells about children's play, this song seems mysterious. There are nuances of sadness when listening to this song. The diction used has a negative connotation, unlike most other children's songs which are cheerful and use words that have a positive connotation. This is what motivates the writer's interest in examining more deeply what the real meaning is contained in the song. The semiotic theory of Riffaterre's poetry was used to study it. Through the process of heuristic reading, hermeneutic reading, and intertext studies, the result shows that the meaning contained in this song is helplessness or weakness. Keywords: semiotics, poetry, Riffaterre, semantic indirectionShabondama adalah lagu anak yang liriknya dikarang oleh Ujo Noguchi. Lagu ini menceritakan permainan balon sabun. Menariknya, meskipun bercerita tentang permainan anak namun lagu ini terkesan misterius. Ada nuansa kesedihan ketika mendengarkan lagu ini. Diksi yang digunakan pun berkonotasi negatif, tidak seperti kebanyakan lagu anak lainnya yang ceria dan menggunakan kata-kata yang berkonotasi positif. Inilah yang melatarbelakangi ketertarikan penulis untuk mengkaji lebih dalam apa makna sebenarnya yang terkandung di dalam lagu itu. Untuk mengkajinya digunakan teori semiotika puisi Riffaterre. Melalui proses pembacaan heuristik, hermeneutik, dan studi interteks, diperoleh hasil bahwa makna yang terkandung dalam lagu ini adalah ketidakberdayaan.Kata Kunci: semiotika, puisi, Riffaterre, ketidaklangsungan semantik

Abstract

Dokkai is a Japanese text reading comprehension course. In practice, students learning Japanese have difficulty understanding the contents of the text. This difficulty, in some cases, was caused not only by their weakness in understanding dokkai material, but also because of their lack of knowledge about how to learn dokkai. In order for the purpose of understanding reading to be achieved, learners must be able to optimize their knowledge and skills in reading such as good understanding of Japanese characters, vocabulary, grammatical mastery of Japanese, topics, and knowing dokkai learning methods and strategies. This can be achieved if the learning strategy can cover all the things needed in teaching dokkai. Through literature studies and surveys on the difficulties and desires of learners in teaching dokkai, this paper proposes a learning strategy called an integrated comprehensive learning strategy.

Abstract

This study is intended to describe the speech act strategy of rejection in Japanese language by former apprentices (kenshuusei). The descriptive qualitative method used in this research is under the approach of interlanguage pragmatic study because the participants are foreign speakers of Japanese. The data were collected using the oral-discourse completion test technique. The findings of this study have shown three types of refusal processes, namely 1) pre-refusal - main refusal - post refusal; 2) pre-refusal - the main refusal; and 3) major refusal - post refusal. In the refusal utterances, there are 2 forms of refusal, namely direct refusal and indirect refusal. The strategies used in refusing are apology strategy, refusal reason strategy, alternative statement strategy, hope statement strategy, future demand strategy, negation form, fukushi, and aizuchi. The refusal strategies mostly used by former apprentices are the excuse strategy for refusal and almost all refusal speeches also use apologies.
