Abstract

In daily life, various types of vocative usage are often found, one of which is the use of vocatives containing kinship terms. Therefore, this research aims to explore the usage of vocatives containing kinship terms in the Japanese and Minangkabau languages using a qualitative descriptive method. The data source for the Japanese language used is the corpus shonagon.ninjal while for the Minangkabau language used korpusnusantara.fbs.ac.id. This research employs the theories of Braun (1988) and Tanaka and Tanaka (1996) as the framework. The research results indicate that there are forty-one vocatives used in the category of kinship terms in both Japanese and Minangkabau languages. The research findings indicate that there is a similarity in the usage of vocative kinship terms in Japanese and Minangkabau languages, which is the use of the term “papa” to address father.
