    CONTRASTIVE MEIREI BUN WITH IMPERATIVE DIVERSITY: ‘JAPANESE AND INDONESIA’
    (International Journal of Psychosocial Rehabilitation, Vol.24, Issue 2, 2020) Jaohari, Abdul Latif; Randireksa, Dinda Gaytri
    Language is not just a sequence of sounds that can be digested empirically, but also rich with non - empirical meanings (Alwasilah, 2007: 14). Thus, language is a vital means of expressing and embodying the contens of thoughts and facts and reality in our lives. Because with language the consideration of truth and justice can be done. The purpose of this article is thus to provide a contrasting comparison between Japanese and Indonesian language by looking at Meirui Bun in order to capture the imperative diversity. The study recognizes the role of language as tool of communication as wel as interaction between members of the community. It can be concluded tha despite the vast differences it is common for both to have longer imperatives which leads to indirect imperative speech.
