The Effect of Distance Learning on the Kanji Reading Ability of 4th Semester Students

Distance learning that works during the covid-19 pandemic changed the student's ability to receive or understand the learning content. Kanji is one of the difficult lecture materials for Japanese language students. A very large number of kanji letters and students' study habits are only made before a test becomes an obstacle in mastering kanji, so persistence, interest, and motivation are needed to learn kanji during distance learning. The preliminary study results show that students' motivation and interest decreased during distance learning. This study aims to determine whether there is an effect of distance learning on the ability to read kanji in fourth-semester students. The instrument used was a questionnaire distributed online with 47 students of Japanese Language Education class 2019 involved as respondents. The study results show that distance learning affects students' kanji reading skills by 22.4%. A student's ability to read kanji is influenced by external and internal factors, including a lack of support from friends and family during the study from home, lack of interest in learning kanji during distance learning, lack of time to practice and learn kanji every day, and students still tend to learn kanji only when there is an exam

On-yomi dan Kun-yomi pada Huruf Kanji

There are three important things in studying Kanji letters in Japanese. These are the way of writing, the way of reading, and the meaning. Of these three things the way of reading Kanji is quite difficult to study due to the way of reading kanji is still subdivided into three parts: onyomi and kunyomi (the way of reading on and kun) The way of reading on is the way of reading kanji which is taken from Chinese . whereas the way of reading kun is a way of reading originated from the Japanese itself. Generally, the way of reading on is the way of reading two letters or more which are combined into one and the result of this combination is a new word with the new meaning. The way of reading kun is not like that of on., however, it’s only a kanji that can stand alone which has its own meaning without combination The important things that we should study in reading on and kun in kanji letters are to know clearly the difference of the meaning of the new vocabulary either from the combined kanji or the kanji which is stand alone. It also helps us in translating a new vocabulary that arises when we are translating a sentence in a reading passage. We can also understand clearly how to use Kanji dictionary and to know the new vocabulary that arises from each sentence that we are translating. To know when the kanji letters is red in on way and when to read it in kun way, the following are the things that we need to study.

Auditory and visual short-term memory: influence of material type, contour, and musical expertise

Short-term memory has mostly been investigated with verbal or visuospatial stimuli and less so with other categories of stimuli. Moreover, the influence of sensory modality has been explored almost solely in the verbal domain. The present study compared visual and auditory short-term memory for different types of materials, aiming to understand whether sensory modality and material type can influence short-term memory performance. Furthermore, we aimed to assess if music expertise can modulate memory performance, as previous research has reported better auditory memory (and to some extent, visual memory), and better auditory contour recognition for musicians than non-musicians. To do so, we adapted the same recognition paradigm (delayed-matching to sample) across different types of stimuli. In each trial, participants (musicians and non-musicians) were presented with two sequences of events, separated by a silent delay, and had to indicate whether the two sequences were identical or different. The performance was compared for auditory and visual materials belonging to three different categories: (1) verbal (i.e., syllables); (2) nonverbal (i.e., that could not be easily denominated) with contour (based on loudness or luminance variations); and (3) nonverbal without contour (pink noise sequences or kanji letters sequences). Contour and no-contour conditions referred to whether the sequence can entail (or not) a contour (i.e., a pattern of up and down changes) based on non-pitch features. Results revealed a selective advantage of musicians for auditory no-contour stimuli and for contour stimuli (both visual and auditory), suggesting that musical expertise is associated with specific short-term memory advantages in domains close to the trained domain, also extending cross-modally when stimuli have contour information. Moreover, our results suggest a role of encoding strategies (i.e., how the material is represented mentally during the task) for short-term-memory performance.

BRANKAS SYSTEM USING ANDROID BASED BARCODE SCANNER

LEXICAL FIELD OF ‘SAYING’ ON JAPANESE LEXEME IU

The research discusses the lexical semantics words in lexeme iu (言う) in Japanese, the lexical relation and the meaning feature, which are found of each word in a semantics field. Lexeme iu (言う) is literally interpreted by word ‘say’. In kanji (言う), there are common meaning and derivative meaning (hyponim and synonym) which form a lexical field. The data are taken from kind of sources such as e-newspapers and scientific journals with limitation for lexeme formed by one kanji letter. As the result of research finds lexical field of Iu in lexemes hanasu, shaberu, kataru, noberu, osharu, tsutaeru, mousu, yobu, tsuku sasou, maneku, benjiru, ronjiru, chikau, chigiru, utau, shou suru, sasayaku, uwasa suru, sakebu, wameku. Lexical field is formed by the lexical relation of synonymy and hyponimy.

Rapid proportion comparison with spatial arrays of frequently used meaningful visual symbols.

It has been shown that when two arrays of Arabic numerals were briefly presented, observers could accurately indicate which array contained the larger number of a target numeral. This study investigated whether this rapid proportion comparison can be extended to other meaningful symbols that share some of notable properties of Arabic numerals. We tested mainly several Japanese Kanji letters, each of which represents a meaning and can work as a word. Using physically identical stimulus sets that could be interpreted as different types of letters, Experiment 1 first confirmed the rapid proportion comparison with Arabic numerals for Japanese participants. Experiment 2 showed that the rapid proportion comparison can be extended to Kanji numerals. Experiment 3 successfully demonstrated that rapid proportion judgments can be found with non-quantitative Kanji letters that are used frequently. Experiment 4 further demonstrated the rapid proportion comparison with frequently used meaningful non-letter symbols (gender icons). The rapid processing cannot be attributed to fluent processing of familiar items, because it was not found with familiar phonograms (Japanese Kana letters). These findings suggest that the rapid proportion comparison can be commonly found with frequently used meaningful symbols, even though their meaning is not relevant to the task.

Agraphia in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis with Frontotemporal Lobe Degeneration

Agraphia in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis with Frontotemporal Lobe Degeneration

Pure agraphia after infarction in the superior and middle portions of the left precentral gyrus: Dissociation between Kanji and Kana

The present study describes a Japanese patient with pure agraphia displaying differential disturbances in processing Kanji (morphogram) and Kana (syllabogram) letters after an infarction in the middle and superior portions of the left precentral gyrus. Kana errors reflected the patient’s difficulty with retrieving both motor and visual letter images, whereas Kanji errors included partial letter stroke omissions or additions. This present case suggests that differences in writing disturbances between Kana and Kanji letters are caused by a differential dependency on letter motor images.

A statistical handwriting model for style-preserving and variable character synthesis

Synthesizing handwritten-style characters is an interesting issue in today’s handwriting analysis field. The purpose of this study is to artificially generate training data, foster a deep understanding of human handwriting, and promote the use of the handwritten-style computer fonts, in which the individuality or variety of the synthesized characters is considered important. Research considering such two properties together, however, is very rare. In this paper, a handwriting model is proposed to synthesize various handwritten characters while preserving the writer’s individuality from a limited number of training data, using a statistical approach. The proposed model is verified in single- and multiple-stroke characters, such as Arabic numbers, small English letters, and Japanese Kanji letters. Synthesized characters are evaluated in three ways. First, they are analyzed visually using the selected samples, and the relationship between the training and synthesized characters is explained. Second, the personalities and varieties of all the data are evaluated using a conventional writer verification method. Third, a questionnaire is developed and administered to evaluate the subjective responses of the users regarding the personal styles of the synthesized characters. The results prove that the proposed model stably synthesizes personalized characters by being invariant to the number of training data, whereas the variety increases gradually as the data increase.
