“…From these results, it can be seen that there are more forms of apology expressions found in Japanese than in Sundanese. These results are in line with Haristiani & Danuwijaya findings which stated that Japanese speakers tend to use more variation of apology expressions from the politest to regular level of expressions compared to Sundanese speakers [14]. This due to while both languages have structural honorific forms, Japanese possesses more variety of apology expressions than Sundanese.…”

“…On the other hand, studies related to Sundanese, particularly apology speech act, is still very limited. Haristiani & Danuwijaya studied apology strategies in cross-cultural context which includes Indonesian, Sundanese, and Japanese based on the Cross-Cultural Speech Act Realization Pattern (CCSARP) coding scheme [14]. The study findings revealed that Indonesian, Sundanese, and Japanese native speakers tend to use main similar strategies overall, but use different strategies depends on the relation with the interlocutor.…”

This study analyzed the meaning and functions of apology expressions in Japanese and Sundanese in non-apology context, their use based on socio-situational factors, and their degree of politeness. The data were collected from various sources such as comics, magazines, internet and other printed literature in both languages. Collected data then accumulated and classified based on the form of expressions, pragmatic function in non-apology context, and their degree of politeness. The findings showed that there are similarities and differences in the form and function of apology expressions in Japanese and Sundanese in non-apology context. The findings indicated that ten variation of apology expressions found in Japanese while in Sundanese only found three forms of apology expressions. Pragmatic functions in non-apology context also have more variation in Japanese compared to Sundanese. However, apology expressions in both languages have the same degree of politeness which are 'Respectful', 'Moderate', and 'Disrespectful'. Furthermore, the results also showed that based on the sociosituational factors, the use of apology expressions in both languages have similarity and differences depends on three sociosituational factors which are 'Familiarity', 'Social status', and 'Age'.

“…The apology speech acts in Japanese have been investigated from a variety of viewpoints, including examining Japanese apology strategies based on semantic formulations (Yamamoto, 2004) and in crosscultural situations such as Japanese and English (Barnlund & Yoshioka, 1990;Kumagai, 1990;Sugimoto, 1997), Japanese and Vietnamese (Abe & Van, 2021), Japanese and Malaysian (Nabil, 2007), Japanese and Indonesian (Takadono, 1999;Haristiani, 2010), Japanese, Indonesian and Sundanese (Haristiani & Danuwijaya, 2017), Japanese and Sundanese (Haristiani & Sopiyanti, 2019). Similar to the apology speech acts in Japanese, research on the apology speech acts in Indonesian has also been carried out, including by Wouk (2005;2006), Jones and Andrefiza (2017).…”

Apologies play an important part in maintaining a human relationship. The realization of the apology speech act is often culturally specific and challenging for most foreign or second language learners to master. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the apology speech act strategy used by Japanese language learners in a public university in Northern Bandung. The data were collected by using Discourse Completion Test (DCT) which investigated four apology situations focusing on relations with the interlocutors. The participants of this study were 30 beginner Japanese learners (BJL) and 30 intermediate Japanese learners (IJL). The collected data were then classified into eight semantic formulas and were analyzed qualitatively by using the theories from Fraser (1981), Olshtain and Cohen (1983) which have been modified by Haristiani and Sopiyanti (2019) in their research. The result showed that both beginner and intermediate Japanese learners use main similar strategies overall. They tend to express an apology directly (meikakuna shazai hyoumei), followed by responsibility (sekinin shounin). However, the frequency of using the offer of repair (hoshou no moushide) strategy by intermediate Japanese learners tends to increase when compared to beginner Japanese learners. The finding demonstrates that there is a development of pragmatic competence in line with the increasing level of learners.

“…The characteristics of JNS in expressing apologies are using direct apologies, not providing explanations or reasons, and using simple apology strategies (Barnlund & Yoshioka, 1990;Haristiani, 2014). However, the characteristics of INS are using explicit expressions, giving lots of explanations, and using address terms, or yobikake, such as Bu (mam), Pak (sir) (Haristiani & Danuwijaya, 2017). Indonesian Japanese learners can make mistakes in the realization of the speech act of apology in L2 (second language) because of the differences between Japanese and Indonesian in the speech act.…”

While acquiring a second language, learners may encounter challenges and difficulties in effectively carrying out verbal communication in the second language. Mastering the apology speech act is a challenge for L2 learners. The objective of this study is to identify the apology strategies utilized by individuals learning the Japanese language, as well as the specific types and underlying causes of errors produced during the execution of apologetic speech acts. The results of this study were gathered via the Discourse Completion Test (DCT), which encompassed a sample of 150 Japanese language learners. The gathered data were further classified using eight semantic formulas based on the research conducted by Haristiani and Sopiyanti (2019), while the various types and sources of error categorization were conducted based on the theories proposed by Corder (1981) and Richards (1975). The results of this study suggest that Japanese learners utilize the same primary strategies in apology speech acts. Furthermore, the study findings indicated that learners at the intermediate level displayed a higher frequency of errors in their speech compared to learners at the beginner levels and pre-intermediate levels, particularly in the strategy of taking responsibility. The main reason for this was primarily a lack of familiarity with the conventions of sentence structures, the proper use of language, and the appropriate use of expressions. The other sources of errors in language learning are likely to be ignoring language rule restrictions, incomplete application of rules, the learner’s false hypothesis, overgeneralization, and language transfer. This study is anticipated to function as a point of reference for research in interlanguage pragmatics, second-language acquisition, and error analysis. Gaining comprehension of the various problems and difficulties encountered when performing the speech act of apology in Japanese can assist both learners and educators in reducing these errors.
