The results of this study show that (1) there are 3 types of <em>keigo</em> used, 75% of employees use <em>sonkeigo</em>, 67% of employees use <em>kenjougo</em>, 97% of employees use <em>teineigo</em>. The type of <em>keigo</em> that is always used is <em>teineigo</em>. (2) the use of <em>sonkeigo</em> is 80% of male employees, 68% of female employees, the use of <em>kenjougo</em> is 67.5% of male employees, 65.7% of female employees, the use of <em>teineigo</em> is 100% of male employees, 94.2 % female employees.

Based on Michael Riffaterre's semiotic analysis 2024-11-13T12:45:01+00:00Muhammad Azis Habibullohhabibullohmazis@students.undip.ac.idFajria Novianafajria.noviana@live.undip.ac.id<p><em>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.</em></p>2025-01-15T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Fajria Noviana, Muhammad Azis Habibullohhttps://publikasi.dinus.ac.id/index.php/jrllc/article/view/11608More than just finished2024-11-12T04:07:25+00:00Taqdir Taqdirtaqdir.unhas@gmail.com<p>This study explores the semantic distinctions of three Japanese <em>fukugodōshi</em> verbs: ~<em>owaru</em>, ~<em>ageru</em>, and ~<em>kiru</em>, 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.</p>2025-01-15T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Taqdir Taqdirhttps://publikasi.dinus.ac.id/index.php/jrllc/article/view/11585Navigating psychosocial challenges2024-11-12T04:10:09+00:00Ulfa Mutiara Isnayaniulfaisnayani@gmail.comKen Widyatwatikenwidyatwati@gmail.comMuhammad Suryadimssuryadi07@gmail.com<p>This research aimed to explain the narrative structures and stages of self-development of Ariel from the anime <em>Sayonara no Asa ni Yakusoku no Hana wo Kazarou</em>. The researcher used a psychological approach to analyze the problems that arise. Narrative theory was used to analyze the narrative aspects of the anime, while psychosocial theory was employed to examine the self-development stages of the character Ariel. This research is a literature study. The analysis explained that there are narrative elements, such as story and plot, narrative connections with space, narrative connections with time, and limitations of story information. The researcher discovered that Ariel successfully navigated the eight stages of self-development based on Erikson’s theory. The analysis concluded that Ariel reached the integrity stage of self-development because he successfully went through all stages with positive results and reached the integration stage of psychosocial and overcame all his obstacles.</p>2025-01-17T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Ulfa Mutiara Isnayani, Ken Widyatwati, Muhammad Suryadi
