ONOMATOPE GIONGO (擬音語) DALAM LAGU ANAK BERBAHASA JEPANG OLEH HIMAWARI: KAJIAN PRAGMATIK
type: item
description: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis bentuk, jenis, dan makna kontekstual dari onomatope giongo (擬音語) dalam bahasa Jepang yang terdapat dalam lagu anak-anak yang dinyanyikan oleh Himawari. Fokus utama dari penelitian ini adalah mengkaji bagaimana giongo, yang pada dasarnya merupakan tiruan bunyi dari benda mati atau fenomena alam, digunakan secara pragmatis untuk menyampaikan makna dalam konteks lagu anak-anak. Penelitian ini juga menyoroti bagaimana makna tersirat dapat dibentuk melalui pelanggaran atau pemenuhan maksim-maksim kerja sama menurut Grice (1975), serta bagaimana giongo tersebut berperan dalam mengembangkan pengalaman linguistik anak dalam pembelajaran bahasa Jepang. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif-deskriptif dengan analisis pragmatik berdasarkan prinsip kerja sama Grice (1975) dan klasifikasi giongo menurut Akita (2009) dan Kakehi dkk. (1996). Data dikumpulkan dari 121 lagu anak-anak di kanal YouTube Himawari, dan dianalisis untuk mengidentifikasi 35 data giongo yang terdiri dari shizen-on giongo (alami), jinkō-on giongo (sintetis), dan dōbutsu-on giongo (benda hidup). Temuan menunjukkan bahwa giongo dalam lagu anak tidak hanya meniru suara secara literal, tetapi juga mengandung makna kontekstual yang disesuaikan dengan narasi dan situasi dalam lirik. Analisis pragmatik melalui pemenuhan dan pelanggaran maksim kerja sama Grice menunjukkan bagaimana giongo menyampaikan pesan-pesan tersirat dan emosi kepada pendengarnya. Hasil penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa giongo dalam lagu anak-anak memainkan peran penting dalam memperkaya ekspresi linguistik dan menjadikan pembelajaran bahasa Jepang lebih menyenangkan dan efektif. Kata kunci: giongo, onomatope Jepang, lagu anak-anak, pragmatik, prinsip kerja sama Grice.

type: item
description: Learning media refers to tools or resources used to facilitate the teaching and learning process, making abstract concepts more concrete and enhancing students’ understanding. This study aims to measure the effectiveness of the Kana Tank learning media in improving students' ability to read Hiragana and Katakana characters at SMAS Semen Gresik, as well as to understand students' responses to its use. The research employed a true experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group model. Data analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon test due to the non-normal distribution of pretest and posttest results. The findings indicate that the use of Kana Tank significantly enhances students' reading ability in both Hiragana and Katakana, as evidenced by significance values of 0.001 and 0.003 respectively (p < 0.05) in the experimental class. In contrast, the control class showed no significant improvement in Katakana reading. Student responses to Kana Tank were generally positive, with an achievement percentage of 77.02% for Hiragana and 69.13% for Katakana. These results suggest that Kana Tank is an effective and well-received learning tool for teaching Kana characters at the high school level.

type: item
description: Penelitian ini membahas peran onomatope dan efek visual dalam komik One Piece Chapter 1047 karya Eiichiro Oda dengan tujuan untuk mendeskripsikan makna onomatope berdasarkan jenisnya serta menganalisis kontribusinya terhadap penyampaian emosi dan situasi dalam cerita. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan semiotika Ferdinand de Saussure dan teori efek visual dari Scott McCloud.

ANALISIS PENGGUNAAN DIALEK HOKKAIDO DALAM MANGA DOSANKO GYARU WA NAMARA MENKOI 『道産子ギャルはなまらめんこい』 KARYA IKADA KAI
type: item
description: Communication is one of the most essential aspects of human survival. For communication to function properly, it relies on a system known as language. The formation of a language is strongly influenced by local customs and culture, which leads to the development of unique regional languages known as dialects. This study focuses on the Hokkaido dialect, a regional variety of the Japanese language used in the manga Dosanko Gyaru wa Namara Menkoi. The research aims to examine how the Hokkaido dialect is used in the manga and to identify its equivalents in standard Japanese hyoujungo. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through reading, listening, and note-taking techniques, followed by an intralingual matching method to determine word equivalents. The stages of data analysis involved translating collected data, analyzing the dialects in context, and then matching them to standard Japanese expressions.The results show 39 instances of dialectal expressions, with namara and shitakke being the most frequently used. Namara means “very” and serves as an intensifier, equivalent to totemo in standard Japanese. Shitakke functions as a conjunction equivalent to soushitara, and it may also be used as a casual farewell in informal contexts. The study concludes that the Hokkaido dialect in the manga plays a strong sociolinguistic role, reflecting local identity and familiarity among characters. Moreover, some dialect expressions are becoming less commonly used among younger generations, gradually being replaced by standard forms. Keywords: Hokkaido Dialect, Hyoujungo, Word Equivalents

MAKNA MAKNA DASAR IMPERATIF LANGSUNG BAHASA JEPANG PADA DRAMA LOVE YOU AS THE WORLD ENDS (君と世界が終わる日に) SEASON 1 KARYA NATSUKO IKEDA EPISODE 1-5
type: item
description: Bahasa memiliki peran penting dalam kehidupan manusia sebagai alat komunikasi utama yang memungkinkan individu menyampaikan maksud dan keinginannya kepada orang lain. Dalam komunikasi lisan, penggunaan bahasa tidak hanya terbatas pada struktur formal, tetapi juga mencakup konteks sosial dan tujuan pragmatis. Salah satu bentuk tuturan penting dalam interaksi sehari-hari adalah kalimat imperatif, yaitu tuturan yang bertujuan memengaruhi tindakan mitra tutur. Dalam kajian pragmatik, imperatif perlu ditinjau secara fungsional, karena maknanya dipengaruhi oleh relasi sosial, konteks, dan intensi penutur. Oleh karena itu, kajian terhadap bentuk dan makna imperatif tidak cukup hanya melihat struktur, melainkan juga fungsi sosial dan pragmatisnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi dan menganalisis bentuk serta makna dasar dari kalimat imperatif langsung dalam bahasa Jepang yang terdapat dalam drama Love You as the World Ends (君と世界が終わる日に) season 1 karya Natsuko Ikeda episode 1–5. Kalimat imperatif merupakan bentuk tuturan yang digunakan penutur untuk memengaruhi tindakan mitra tutur, baik dalam bentuk perintah, permintaan, maupun nasihat. Penelitian ini berfokus pada kalimat imperatif langsung yang diungkapkan secara eksplisit. Teori yang digunakan untuk menganalisis bentuk imperatif mengacu pada pendapat Rahardi (2009), sedangkan untuk menentukan makna dasar tuturan imperatif digunakan teori skala pragmatik dari Kashiwazaki (dalam Roni, 2005), yaitu skala untung-rugi dan skala kemanasukaan (manasuka). Metode yang digunakan adalah deskriptif kualitatif dengan teknik simak, catat, dan analisis data berdasarkan konteks tuturan dalam drama. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat 43 tuturan imperatif langsung yang terbagi dalam beberapa bentuk gramatikal seperti ～ろ, ～な, ～来い, ～え, ～てください, ～ないでください, ～ましょう, ～て, ～ないで, ～てくれ. Dari segi makna dasar, ditemukan tiga jenis: (1) Perintah sebanyak 21 data, terbagi menjadi dua bentuk: yang menguntungkan penutur dan membeban…

PEMBENTUKAN KATA SERAPAN GAIRAIGO (外来語) DALAM PANDUAN PERAKITAN FIGURE RISE MODEL KIT
type: item
description: ABSTRACT The gairaigo phenomenon, which is the use of foreign words adapted into Japanese in figure-rise assembly instructions, is a popular kit model in Japanese pop culture. With a qualitative descriptive approach, data is collected from the assembly guide and analyzed based on phonetic, morphological, and meaning aspects. Three main forms of gairaigo formation were found: phonetic adaptation (20 words), reduplication (7 words), and morpheme incorporation (23 words). Phonetic adaptation is the most dominant form, reflecting the Japanese language's strategy of adapting foreign terms to its phonological system. These findings support Loveday and Stanlaw's theories, and are expected to enrich Japanese language learning and linguistic studies, particularly in the context of technology and popular culture. In phonetic adaptation, the formation of gairaigo is carried out through the process of fusion, dissipation, and merging of letters. Then in the reduplication of the formation of gairaigo through the process of adding consonants and vowels. Meanwhile, in the incorporation of morphemes, the process that occurs is the addition at the beginning of the word, in the middle and at the end.

This study aims to identify the grammatical structures and categorize the meanings of idioms containing 頭 (atama). This research employs a descriptive qualitative method with syntactic and semantic approaches. Data were collected using the observation and note-taking technique, focusing on posts from the social media platform Twitter that include the keyword 頭 (atama). The data were then analyzed and classified based on grammatical structure, namely phrases, clauses, compound sentences, and imperative sentences, as well as meaning, categorized into 14 types: feelings, emotions, body, character, attitude, action, activity, behavior, state, degree, value, society, culture, and life. The results show that the most dominant grammatical structure found in the idioms is clauses, followed by phrases, compound sentences, and imperative sentences. In terms of meaning, the most frequently occurring category relates to action, followed by character, attitude, and behavior. These findings indicate that idioms containing 頭 (atama) are highly metaphorical and context-dependent. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of their structure and meaning is essential for learners of Japanese as a foreign language, and contributes to the broader study of idioms within Japanese linguistics. Keywords: Idioms, 頭 (atama), Grammatical Structure, Meaning Types, Twitter.

HUBUNGAN BENTUK PEMBERIAN TUGAS DENGAN MOTIVASI BELAJAR BAHASA JEPANG SISWA SMAN 1 GONDANG
type: item
description: This study aims to determine the relationship between assignment types and Japanese language learning motivation among students at SMAN 1 Gondang. A quantitative correlational approach was used with a sample of 81 eleventh-grade students and a closed-ended questionnaire as the instrument. Theoretically, learning motivation is closely related to Deci & Ryan's Self-Determination Theory and Hidi & Baird's concept of situational interest. Additionally, challenging, interesting, and meaningful assignments can enhance learning motivation (Uno, 2016). Previous research by Supriadi (2023) demonstrated that the implementation of task-based teaching methods has a positive impact on students' learning motivation. The Spearman test results showed a strong and significant relationship between the form of task assignment and learning motivation, with a correlation coefficient of 0.667 and significance of 0.000. This study also found that students' learning motivation is influenced by 1) active student involvement in completing tasks, 2) the relevance of the material to their interests, and 3) a supportive learning environment. Additionally, hands-on tasks such as group cultural presentations were found to be the most motivating form of assignment, with 67% of students stating that such tasks helped with vocabulary usage, and 61% feeling they understood Japanese culture better. In conclusion, assignment forms designed to be engaging, meaningful, and collaborative have a positive contribution in enhancing students' motivation to learn Japanese. Keywords : assignment types, learning motivation, Japanese language.

type: item
description: This study aims to determine the effectiveness of using PowerPoint Powtoon as a learning medium on students’ understanding of reading Hiragana characters among tenth-grade students at SMK Semen Gresik. The background of this research is based on the low level of students’ understanding of Hiragana characters due to the use of conventional and less interactive learning methods, such as ordinary PowerPoint presentations. This research employs a quantitative method with a true experimental design, specifically the pretest-posttest control group design. The research sample consists of two classes, namely X RPL 1 as the experimental class and X TPM 1 as the control class, which were randomly selected to avoid bias and to ensure equality of students’ initial abilities. The research instruments include a multiple-choice test to measure students’ understanding of reading Hiragana characters and a questionnaire to identify their responses. Data were analyzed using the non-parametric Mann-Whitney statistical test because the data were not normally distributed, with a significance level less than α = 0.05. The results show that there is a significant difference between the posttest scores of the experimental and control classes (p < 0.05), indicating that the use of PowerPoint Powtoon is more effective than the use of ordinary PowerPoint media. Students’ responses to this learning medium were also highly positive, with the average score falling into the “very good” category. These findings indicate that PowerPoint Powtoon can serve as an interactive learning media alternative that effectively enhances students’ motivation and understanding in learning Hiragana characters.

KARAKTERISTIK PEMBENTUKAN WAKAMONO KOTOBA DALAM ANIME “NAKITAI WATASHI WA NEKO O KABURU” KARYA MARI OKADA
type: item
description: This research examines wakamono kotoba, a non-standardized Japanese youth vernacular influenced by popular culture, as represented in the anime Nakitai Watashi wa Neko o Kaburu. Employing a descriptive qualitative design anchored in pragmatic analysis, the study investigates both the formal properties and social functions of these expressions. Data were derived from character dialogues through systematic transcription and observation, subsequently classified according to frameworks by Yonekawa, Kageyama, and Sato. The interpretive process draws on Hymes’ SPEAKING model to situate usage within interactional contexts, with Austin’s speech act theory serving as an auxiliary conceptual guide. Results reveal the predominance of clipped forms, such as 「ヤバっ」 (from 「やばい」) and 「たまんね」 (from 「たまらない」), which operate as devices for emotional economy, intimacy-building, and informality. The findings suggest that wakamono kotoba in this narrative functions beyond linguistic innovation, constituting a strategic mechanism for enacting identity and reinforcing affiliative bonds among characters..
