The results obtained based on all meaning identification data and interviews, respondents were able to understand the meaning of the final particle janai meaning confirmation in theory and context compared to the meaning of the final particle janai meaning others. This is because the duration of learning these final particles is not balanced, so respondents still find it difficult to understand the context of the sentence.

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

Mastering collocation is a crucial aspect of second language acquisition at the B2 level, particularly in Japanese. Understanding collocation allows learners to comprehend common word combinations used in everyday conversation. This study aims to explore the understanding of collocation among Japanese language learners and to identify errors in their sentence construction. Using a mixed-method approach, the research includes collocation knowledge tests, questionnaires, and interviews to collect data from Japanese language learners in Indonesia. The findings indicate that many learners struggle with proper collocation usage, largely due to the influence of their native language and a limited understanding of suitable word combinations in Japanese. However, with effective teaching methods and consistent practice, learners can improve their grasp of collocation, which will lead to more effective and natural communication in Japanese. This study concludes that a strong command of collocation significantly enhances Japanese language proficiency, particularly in terms of fluency and contextual understanding. The research intends to contribute to the development of collaborative learning strategies in Japanese, especially for non-native speakers, to facilitate daily communication in the language.
