ABSTRACT Slang is one of the language styles used by young people, which is called Wakamono Kotoba in Japanese and Bahasa Gaul in Indonesian. One similar characteristic in wakamono kotoba (Japanese slan. and Bahasa Gaul (IndonesianAos slan. is the This research aims to compare Japanese and Indonesian slang abbreviations by explaining their origins, processes, differences, and similarities. This study was collected based on written language from Pergikuliner and Taberogu sites from March until April 2023, each taking a maximum of 50 reviews per restaurant. The review was gathered from 10 restaurants each from Indonesian and Japanese sites, meaning there are 500 data from each site and 1000 reviews from both Then, the author conducted the research by analyzing the abbreviation process with similarities and differences between the two languages. The results show 398 data on slang abbreviations in wakamono kotoba and 244 data on slang abbreviations in bahasa gaul. The abbreviation process in the Japanese language mainly happens with the abbreviation of sentences or phrases, following that is an abbreviation at the end of the word, the abbreviation of two or more moras, omissions at the end of each term, the abbreviation of three words in a sentence or phrases, and abbreviations formed from initial letters of each word. On the other hand, the abbreviation process in the Indonesian language mainly happens as an omission of the wordAos part, followed by shortened words from a combination of letters, acronyms of letters, combining from two separate forms, and abbreviation as letter symbols. The similarity between the two languages is used identical types of abbreviations . cronyms and toujig. , have the abbreviation process from another language, and have the same pattern in the abbreviation of the end of words. While the differences are from letters or syllables, the objects that went through the abbreviation process, changed in form in the Japanese source and tended to use foreign languages in the Indonesian source.

First received: 07 May 2023 ARTICLE INFO Revised: 20 June 2023 Available online: 30 June 2023 INTRODUCTION In a language, several factors determine how a person speaks, such as factors of age, gender, occupation, education, and situation, giving rise to variations (Ariyapitipun. Final proof accepted: 25 June 2023 Regarding the age factor, we realize that older people speak differently from young people. such, there are three types of language variations based on age: childrenAos language, youthAos language, and parentsAo language (Putri & Santoso.

Similarities, and Differences generally three styles in society. there are formal or polite language, daily conversation, and slang. Children and young people use simple language and slang (Ariyapitipun, 2. In Matsumoto. Akita. Keranmu. Yoshida, and Kita . , young people use unique words distinctive to their generation, such as Japanese slang called wakamono kotoba in Japanese. While in according to Chaer and Agustina . on Budiasa. Savitri. Shanti, and Dewi . , slang is created and used by particular social groups to interact in their group only so that others do not know it, and this is in line with the meaning of slang in KBBI where slang or often called bahasa gaul is a non-formal dialect of Indonesian used by particular communities or specific areas for social interactions. In Japan, many new or popular terms are used by young people (Putri & Santoso, 2. According to Tanaka . , with the times and young people who became pioneers, they will continuously create new and popular terms (Putri & Santoso, 2. In other words, slang will keep up with the times, so the vocabulary will continue to increase (Nurhasanah, 2. According to Tanaka . , there are four characteristics of wakamono kotoba, namely shouryakugo . , sakasa kotoba . eversal of word. , the addition of -ru or -tta to nouns to become verbs, and human characterization. Meanwhile, according to Hanum . n Hilaliyah, 2. , the characteristics of bahasa gaul are the process of nasalization, passive forms, omission of letters or phonemes, abbreviations, use of other language terms, the addition of prefixes, lexeme alternation in word, use of foreign languages and addition of syllable. In this case, wakamono kotoba in Japanese and bahasa gaul in Indonesian have one similar characteristic: According to Kridalaksana . , an abbreviation is a morphological process that redacts one part or several parts of a combination of lexeme to become a new form with the vocabulary status. However, this abbreviation, both in Japan and Indonesia, is used by young people and is commonly used in daily conversation by everyone, regardless of age (Noviastuti & Mael. Moreover. Yoshioka difficulties in understanding a common shouryakugo . , with the results showing that 77% of people in Japan answered difficulties or had problems with shouryakugo. YoshikoAos research shows that commonly used abbreviations are already tricky for Japanese people, let alone understand wakamono kotoba, as the abbreviation is one of wakamono kotoba characteristics (Tanaka, 1. Widyastuti . researched the wakamono kotoba phenomenon from Indonesian and Japanese The results showed that Indonesian respondents, such as Japanese language learners and teachers in Indonesia, find that difficult to understand the meaning and use of wakamono This research results also shows that Japanese language learners and teachers hardly use wakamono kotoba in learning situations. In the same research from Widyastuti . , respondents from JapanAos results show that Japanese people often find wakamono kotoba in daily life regardless of age. However, some Indonesian respondents know about wakamono kotoba but have yet to find the newest wakamono kotoba. Only a few respondents have ever found a few vocabulary words, know the meaning, and used wakamono kotoba. It shows the difference from the results of questionnaires by Japanese respondents from WidyastutiAos research . before, who often find and know the meaning of wakamono kotoba, although they rarely use it. Many researches about abbreviations in Indonesia language shows similarity to YoshiokaAos . Yingxuan . surveyed that commonly used abbreviations in Indonesia language is sometimes challenging to be understood by Indonesian people themselves. Yingxuan . distributed questionnaires regarding Indonesian language abbreviations to 24 university students. The results showed that 23 out of 24 university students needed help to understand the meaning of the abbreviations. Similarly. RagamAos study . which aims to examine the acronym used by the Surabaya City Government, miscommunication, confusion, and difficulties in their use. It is in line with the statement from Parsidi . n Yingxuan, 2. that the use of abbreviation has interfered with communication because the meaning and the origins often need to be clarified. Previous research about bahasa gaul can be seen from KurniawatiAos study . , which aims to determine the characteristics of the use of bahasa gaul in learning Indonesian at SMAN 3 Ciamis shows that they also use bahasa gaul in learning situations, with the characteristic of abbreviation that was showing the highest percentage of 46. It shows why bahasa gaul is also tricky to understand, as abbreviations are also commonly 24 | P a g e e- ISSN 2528-5548 | p-ISSN 2776-4478 JAPANEDU: Jurnal Pendidikan dan Pengajaran Bahasa Jepang Vol. No. June 2023, pp. used characteristics to make bahasa gaul in Indonesia. We can see that Japan and Indonesia face the same situation regarding using abbreviations in wakamono kotoba and bahasa gaul. From the above explanation, it can be concluded that Japanese language learners and teachers in Indonesia need more knowledge of slang language and find it difficult to understand. One of the critical factors causing these difficulties was that slang needs to be studied in teaching materials or courses and used only occasionally. Even though wakamono kotoba will be helpful for Japanese language learners when interacting directly with young people in Japan both in daily life or at work and being able to understand the Japanese language used by young people in Japan or the Japanese language found in daily life such as in Japanese doramas, television shows, anime, social media, and others. Using wakamono kotoba as a language adds flexibility to daily conversation to establish a sense of familiarity, intimacy, and kinship with Japanese people. We can also see these advantages based on a preliminary study on a questionnaire to Japanese people, which shows that they often found the wakamono kotoba in daily life in Japan. Even more so as there is a wakamono kotoba ranking based on Nikkan Sports, which shows that in 2021, 11 out of 29 wakamono kotoba vocabularies have abbreviation characteristics. Figure 1: Wakamono Kotoba Ranking in 2021 based on Nikkan Sports. Horio . explains that wakamono kotoba has existed for a long time, and their frequent use will become the daily conversation or language used by many people. In this case, there will be a tendency in the future for new languages included in wakamono kotoba will appear in Japanese language education teaching materials. An example is the words maji or yabai. These two vocabularies are the new terms that include in wakamono kotoba. However, these two vocabularies have been around for a long time and have been use by many people of all ages. These two vocabularies have also appeared in teaching materials such as the book Minna no Nihongo. In addition, we also found that Indonesian people need help understanding bahasa gaul and abbreviations in Indonesian. Like wakamono kotoba, using bahasa gaul will also foster intimacy in For example, when the teacher communicates with his students outside of teaching hours, it will strengthen the relationship between teacher and student. As previously explained, slang will continue to grow, so they have an exciting and distinctive uniqueness that makes them very suitable for research. Based on this description, the author intends to compare the slang abbreviations in Japanese and Indonesian by explaining their origins and Then this research also explains how the process of the abbreviation happens in terms of their characteristics. Furthermore, lastly, this research compares the similarity and differences of the abbreviation process based on data sources, namely food reviews in written language from the Taberogu and Pergikuliner sites. METHODS Data analysis was carried out by collecting slang abbreviation data, analyzing the wordAos origin and the abbreviation process, and analyzing the similarity and differences between the two This study collected data from March until April 2023. The authors use written language from the Pergikuliner and Taberogu sites for data On the Pergikuliner site, there is an Instagrammable filter, which means that the photo or video of the food or restaurant is appropriate for sharing on social media, one of which is Instagram. According to Haneyama. Kodama, and Wang . Instagram is the second most used application by young people after Twitter in Japan. As for the Taberogu site, the author uses the filters oshare na kuukan . stylish plac. , cafys, and sweets, as well as the restaurantAos popularity rating for young people in 2022 from aumo sites. The author will analyze the restaurant reviews on both sites by taking the highest restaurant ratings of 10 restaurants and a maximum of 50 reviews from each restaurant, meaning there are 500 data each from Indonesian and Japanese reviews, totaling 1000 reviews. e- ISSN 2528-5548 | p-ISSN 2776-4478 25 | P a g e Shabella Widyastuti.

Similarities, and Differences In addition, the slang data found on these sites is without regard for the reviewerAos age. As the characteristic of the slang described by Horio . , everyone uses that slang. He said that slang, often used for a long time, will become a common language or the language people use, so there will be a tendency for wakamono kotoba to include new languages in the future. In the data analysis step, the author uses the theory of the characteristics of wakamono kotobaAos abbreviation from Yonekawa . n Horio, 2. , namely abbreviation of the beginning of the word, the abbreviation of the middle of the word, abbreviation at the end of the word, the abbreviation of two or more moras, omission of the beginning of each word, omission of the end of each word, the abbreviation of sentences or phrases, the abbreviation of three words in sentences or phrases, abbreviations formed from initial letters of each word . and omission of Whereas in bahasa gaul, the author uses the standard abbreviation theory from Kridalaksana . n Simpen, 2021 and Amri & Karina, 2. grouped into five types, namely shortened word from a combination of letters, omission of the wordAos part, acronyms of the letter, combining from two separate forms, and abbreviation as letter symbols.

Maeda, and Kawashima . , the word w is an abbreviation of warai, which means When we were typing the word warai, and then from there, having an abbreviation process by mentioning only the initial letter becomes the word w. The number of letters w indicates that the more uses of the written letter w, the stronger the laughing expression (Iwasaki. Maeda, & Kawashima, 2. Then, according to Numan . , the word w began to spread in early 2002 from 2 channeru . bulletin site where anyone in anonym can comment and now changed its name to 5 channer. Usually, the word w is written at the end of the sentence to show an expression of laughter and is only written in lowercase. In the type of abbreviation wakamono kotoba in Japanese, the most widely used is the abbreviation of sentences or phrases with various word abbreviation processes depending on the sentence Abbreviation Process of Bahasa Gaul in Indonesian Language In the data in Indonesian, the author used the abbreviation theory from Kridalaksana . n Simpen, 2021 and Amri and Karina, 2. and found that all types of abbreviations are discussed as follows: A Shortened Word from A Combination of Letters According to Kridalaksana . , a shortened word from a combination of letters is one of the results of the abbreviation process in the form of letters or combinations of letters. The difference between a shortened word from a combination of letters and an acronym lies in how to read a word because the abbreviation for this type of abbreviation is spelled letter by letter, not pronounced in the vocabulary. From the data, the authors found three abbreviation processes. There are formed from the beginning of the letter of each syllable, formed from the beginning of the letter of each word, and formed from letters that are not sequential as in Kridalaksana . Data 8 Betah deh kalo beduaan sama pdkt-an atau pacar, soalnya di bagian luar ada tempat duduk yang romantis AuIt is comfortable to be here with someone that you love or girlfriends because, on the outside, there are romantic seats.

According to Zein and Wagiati . , pdkt comes from pendekatan. The origin of the word pendekatan from KridalaksanaAos theory . , namely formed from the beginning of the letter of each syllable, and then if it is written based on syllables, it becomes pen, de, ka, and tan. Then from each syllable, only the initial letter is taken, so the syllable pen becomes p, the syllable de becomes d, the syllable ka becomes k, and the syllable tan becomes t. So that all these letters are combined to become the word pdkt with the Indonesian pronunciation per letter, such as /pe/ /de/ /ka/ /te/, which the meaning of the stages of a man when he approaches a woman he likes before finally becoming a lover. ahasa daring. Zein and Wagiati . also explain that the emergence of the word pdkt is motivated by socio-psychological factors with the aim of disguising meaning, which is considered to have a negative connotation, in specific speech contexts, and for privacy.

Omission of The WordAos Part In this abbreviation process, a word of more than one syllable is reduced one word to the shorter From these data, the authors found three data according to Kridalaksana . n Amri & Karina, 2. , the reduction in the last syllable of a word, the reduction in the first three letters of a 30 | P a g e e- ISSN 2528-5548 | p-ISSN 2776-4478 JAPANEDU: Jurnal Pendidikan dan Pengajaran Bahasa Jepang Vol. No. June 2023, pp. word, and the reduction in the first four letters of a Data 9 Dan kalo ada moment special . kita bisa order kaya slice cake dan minta tolong di tuliskan sesuai req moment nya AuMoreover, we can order a particular moment . like a slice of cake and ask for help request to write as the moment. Ay (Pergikuliner. Jenderal Kopi Nusantara Buwa. AorequestAo = AoreqAo The word req includes the reduction in the first three letters of a word. According to kamus singkatan . , the word req comes from the English word request. So the first three letters of the word request, namely r, e, and q, were constant, and the remaining final letters, namely u, e, s, and t, were reduced so that they become the word req, which means request. Because the word request is a word from English, from the abbreviation process from English, according to Yule . , the word req is included in the clipping type abbreviation process. Another data included reducing the first three letters of a word type fav . and ena . Then the reduction in the last syllable of a word pattern is: AolumayanAo = AomayanAo Lastly, the reduction in the first four letters of a word pattern is: AofavoriteAo = AofavoAo Another data that included the reduction in the first four letters of a word type is endol . Besides Kridalaksana . n Amri & Karina, 2. , the author found another pattern of this abbreviation process. There is a reduction in the first five letters of a phrase at the beginning of a word and a reduction at the beginning of four letters of a word with the addition of a syllable.

Data from the reduction at the beginning of four letters of a word with the addition of a syllable type is: AocomfortableAo AoyAo = AocomfyAo Acronyms of Letter An acronym is formed from the initial letters of a set of other words, and in the Kridalaksana . theory, this abbreviation process was based on the phonetic rules of the Indonesian language.

In the abbreviation bahasa gaul in Indonesian, the most widely used is omitting the wordAos part and combining from two separate forms. Furthermore, in these types, there are various processes of word abbreviation. The Similarity and Difference of Abbreviation Process in Japanese and Indonesian Language After analyzing the slang abbreviation process data from the two languages (Japanese and Indonesia. above, the authors found similarities and differences in the slang abbreviation process from the two languages. First, it has the same abbreviation, toujigo (KY languag. , and an acronym. This type of abbreviation is an abbreviation process that is shortened word in the form of only the initial part of the word. For example, in the Japanese data, the word w is an abbreviation of the romaji letter warau, meaning laughter. While in Indonesian data, the word JJS comes from the word Jalan-Jalan Sore or Jalan-Jalan Santai means go for a stroll or evening So both Japanese and Indonesian data have similarities in the abbreviation process that only takes the beginning of the letter of each word. Second, it has the abbreviation process from another language. In the Japanese data source, some words have an abbreviation process in Indonesian, namely the word AUCPAs. From these data, the abbreviation process was by deleting letters, not by deleting Japanese syllables like other Japanese abbreviation processes. It is because the origin of the word comes from a foreign language couple, so the abbreviation process is similar to the type of omission of the wordAos part in Indonesian as in the data pdkt, which is an abbreviation of the word pendekatan where this word is shortened by removing the letters. Third, the authors found an abbreviation process almost similar to Indonesian and Japanese in the two data sources. There is an abbreviation of the end of words in the form of one vocabulary and compound words. In the form of one vocabulary, abbreviations of the end of words and reduced one word to the shorter form type have an almost similar abbreviation pattern, removing the ending part of a word. As an example of data on the abbreviation process of the end of a word was from the word rokeeshon, three lexemes at the end of a word (-esho. have omissions so that they become rokeeshon, which mean place for shooting dorama or Then, for example, in omitting the wordAos part type from the word sebatang, the first five letters . , e, b, a, and . are constant. At the same time, the remaining letters at the end of the word . , n, and . had dissolution so that they became the word sebat, meaning smoking one cigarette. 32 | P a g e e- ISSN 2528-5548 | p-ISSN 2776-4478 JAPANEDU: Jurnal Pendidikan dan Pengajaran Bahasa Jepang Vol. No. June 2023, pp. In the form of compound words in the form of Aonoun 1 noun 2Ao, the abbreviation of the end of each word and combining from two different form types have almost similar abbreviation patterns, which remove the ending of each word. As an example of the data on the abbreviation of the end of each word from the word sumaato-hon, there are the lexemes -ato and -n has deletion into sumaho. Then an example of data on the process of combining two different form types was from the word gerakan - cepat, in the first word gerakan has deletion at the end of the letters . , k, a and . becomes ger, then in the second vocabulary cepat has a deletion of the end of the letters . became cep so that the two words are combined into the word gercep. The first different characteristics of the slang abbreviation are syllable. Before we explain why, we must address the most fundamental difference between Japanese and Indonesian: using letters. Japanese uses hiragana, katakana, and kanji, while Indonesian uses alphabet letters. It affects the abbreviation process, as most Japanese tend to abbreviations based on syllables or mora, while Indonesian tends to abbreviations based on letter acronyms rather than syllables. An example of data in Japanese is ten-a-ge from the word ten-shona-ge-a-ge. The words shon, a, and ge were omitted when we viewed the syllables. Meanwhile, an example of data in Indonesian is samsek, which comes from the word sama - sekali, and does not have omissions based on syllables. However, from letters, there is the disappearance of the letter a in the word sama and the letters a, l, and i in the word Second, apart from the letters, other differences are found in the objects that went through the abbreviation process. In Japanese, these types of abbreviations are grouped based on the part of the abbreviation process, for example, abbreviations of the beginning of a word, abbreviations of the middle of a word, and abbreviations of the end of a word. In contrast. Indonesian is more focused on grouping the abbreviation process of words or compound words or phrases. For example, if the abbreviation becomes a letter, the type of abbreviations will include abbreviations of shortened words from a combination of letters, acronyms, or letter symbols. If abbreviations form one vocabulary, it will be included in omitting the wordAos part type. In contrast, an abbreviation for compound words . onsisting of two or more vocabularie. will be included in combining two different form types. The author also found a new abbreviation process only in the Japanese data source. There is a change in the form. Originally from the word AU cAEAs . , then it was shortened to just one kanji to become AUcAs . When we write or type kanji AUcAsit will be written as AUwaraAs. this section. AUwaraAs have shortened again, and only taking the initial letter became AU w As . Yonekawa . n Horio, 2. explained that the number of letters AUwAs or the more use of the letter AUwAs is written, the stronger the expression will be like AUwAs. Then the word AUwAs, which looks like grass, becomes the word AUsOAs which has the original meaning of grass but it has changed of mean in slang to become laughter. In the bahasa gaul abbreviation process. Indonesian slang tends to use foreign languages, especially English. This process is only found in Indonesian slang.

CONCLUSIONS This study compared Japanese and Indonesian slang abbreviations by exploring their origins, processes, differences, and similarities. Based on the findings of the study, it can be concluded that Japanese and Indonesian have three similar abbreviation processes such as acronym . , abbreviation taken from another language, and abbreviation at the end of words. Because Indonesian and Japanese have different writing systems, the objects that went through the abbreviation process were different in each Japanese abbreviations are more structured because they happened at the beginning, middle, or end of the word, while Indonesian abbreviations happened randomly and was more focused on grouping the abbreviation process of words or compound words or phrases. From the data source, the Aochanging formAo abbreviation can be found in Japanese sources only while the tendency to use foreign languages can be found in Indonesian sources only.
