Abstract

Dajare is a type of Japanese wordplay used in humorous contexts. Previous studies have only examined dajare formed through homophonic or semi-homophonic word pairs, while polysemous wordplay is more commonly found in English-language puns. This study seeks to describe dajare based on polysemy found in a series of Japaneselanguage television advertisements titled Santarou produced by Au. This study uses the qualitative-descriptive method to describe polysemous dajare found in the data source. The theory used is Attardo’s (2017) general theory of verbal humor to describe how the dajare creates humor in the advertisements. It can be concluded that polysemous dajare wordplay in the data revolves around the incongruity between the original meaning of a word and its derivation in slang and colloquial language.

The aim of the research is to identify four power relations of the West over the East in the anime series Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion by using postcolonial studies, namely Edward Said's concept of Orientalism. This type of research is qualitative descriptive research. This study used observing and note-taking techniques in the data collection process. Data analysis in this study consisted of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of this study indicate that the four power relations of the West over the East are present in the form of British power over Japan. The first is political power, shown by Britannia as the ruler of Japan. Second, intellectual power is demonstrated by the influence of the Britannia media in portraying Eleven in a bad image. The three cultural powers, shown by the influence of Britannia positioned themselves as a party capable of modernizing Japan. The four moral powers are demonstrated by the form of criticism of a Prince of Britannia who saw the resistance carried out by the Japanese. The conclusion is the influence of the most incredible power is political power through Britannia which affects the lives of Japanese people in New Japan/Area 11.

Abstract

This paper aims to investigate the motivations of Indonesian students to pursue tertiary education in Japan. Investigating the experiences and perspectives of five Indonesian students, collected through in-dept interview, pursuing a degree program in Japan, this study argued that academic factors alone proved insufficient in capturing a comprehensive picture of students' motivation. The findings revealed that while academic motivation remained as an important driving force, socio-cultural factors contributed heavily to maintaining the students’ interest towards Japan. Interestingly, the findings also revealed that the students’ consideration to continue study in Japan was heavily influenced by routine and seemingly mundane matters namely, day-to-day living experience, such as the tolerance exhibited by Japanese society towards religious practices, the geographical proximity, and safety concerns, rather than being primarily driven by academic ambitions. Thus, to gain comprehensive students’ motivations in pursuing higher education abroad, it is necessary to contextualize it within a broader socio-cultural background.

Abstract

In building interpersonal relationships through omotenashi no kokoro (Excellent Service), Keigo is a crucial aspect to consider when communicating in Japanese. Keigo, both in terms of grammar and its usage concept, is quite complicated. Therefore, the role of instructors in delivering Keigo learning materials is expected to motivate students to improve their communication skills while mastering the art of creating interpersonal connections. Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) is chosen as the teaching method. This research aims to provide an alternative teaching experience focusing on omotenashi no kokoro. The research method used is descriptive with a qualitative approach. The research subjects are students of the Japanese Language Program at Universitas Teknologi Yogyakarta (UTY) taking the hospitality course. The research is conducted through observation by analyzing CLT-based learning activities using three steps: mechanical practice, meaningful practice, and communicative practice. The study results indicate that with the CLT method, students can use Keigo through word or phrase repetition, understand the meaning of words and expressions in sentences, and freely actualize themselves through improvisation and exploration of conversational contexts. A new finding from this research is that the CLT teaching method is effective when applied to the hospitality course, emphasizing building interpersonal relationships through omotenashi no kokoro.

Abstract

This study uses a qualitative approach by presenting data descriptively. This study aims to determine how Japanese native speakers perceive Japanese learners' soudesuka’s intonation pronunciation. Three Japanese native speakers participated in this study and have assessed the pronunciation of Japanese learners' aizuchi soudesuka intonation. The findings showed that nine out of ten respondents can pronounce soudesuka which means “understand,” with the correct descending intonation; only three out of ten respondents can pronounce soudesuka which means “asking question,” with the right ascending intonation; and six out of ten respondents can pronounce soudesuka which means “happy, joy, or surprise” with the right descending intonation. The results of this study indicate that, according to Japanese native speakers, respondents tend to be more able to pronounce soudesuka with descending intonation than soudesuka with ascending intonation.
