Abstract

ABSTRACT Hasanah, Niswatul. 2014. “Modalitas ~Souda, ~Youda dan ~Rashii dalam Kalimat Bahasa Jepang”. Thesis, Departement of Japanese Studies Faculty of Humanities.Diponegoro University.The First Advisor Dra. Sri Puji Astuti, M. Pd. Second Advisor Lina Rosliana , S.S., M. Hum. In writing this thesis, the writer discussed ‘Modality in the form of ~souda, ~youda, and ~rashii in Japanese sentences’. The writer chose the title due to the lack of explanation of those words in Japanese books, therefore there were still many mistakes in using ~souda, ~youda, and ~rashii. The first step in writing this thesis was collecting the data by the writer, analyzed the data, and presented the data descriptively. ~Souda, ~youda, and ~rashii in Indonesian mean sepertinya or tampaknya and it indicates approximation modality, meanwhile ~souda and ~rashii function as quotation modality. Although in Indonesian those three words can be interpreted with a same word, there are actually differences in meaning and usage of those words. ~Souda in approximation modality states assumption, supposition or speculation based on visual information. In quotation modality, ~souda functions to deliver news heard from the others. ~Youda is used when the speaker wants to express assumption, supposition or speculation based on information received by the senses according to its subjective valuation. ~Rashii in approximation modality tells an assumption or speculation objectively based on almost certain validity. In the other hand, ~rashii in quotation modality is used to convey information or opinion according to fact or information. The fact is obtained through observation or other resources. Keywords: Modalitas souda,youda, dan rashii.
