. This study examines "~ kakeru ( ～かける ) Compound Verbs in Japanese Sentences." This study describes the structure and meaning of the compound verb kakeru in Japanese sentences. The data used by the researcher come from diverse sources, including books, dictionaries, and sentences written by the researchers themselves. It utilizes library resources to collect the necessary data. Then, the form and meaning of the compound verb kakeru are determined using the distributional method and the basic direct element technique. Based on the data analysis, it can be concluded that the meaning describes the activity's initiation and its state. In addition to being attached to activity verbs and punctual verbs, the form of the compound verb kakeru can also be attached to stative verbs. In sentences containing the compound verb kakeru , that state just before an activity begins and activities that have been ongoing for some time.


Introduction
Humans use language as a communication and interaction tool to convey their thoughts, ideas, and concepts to one another. In various situations, language can convey the speaker's ideas to morphology and syntax (tougoron). One of them is currently combining words, which will result in the occurrence of the word's meaning and influence the sentence. Various verbs are frequently combined in Japanese sentences or compound verbs. Based on their structure, Japanese verbs are categorized as singular verbs (tanjundoushi) and compound verbs (fukugoudoushi). This study examines the compound verb (fukugoudoushi) kakeru, which has multiple definitions in the dictionary, including "to hang up, to put on." Therefore, its usage is frequently challenging for Japanese language students, particularly in Indonesia. Because not all meanings of the compound verb kakeru are accepted, and not all have the meaning 'to cease,' Sometimes, the combination of these verbs produces new meanings that are distinct from the meanings of their constituent parts.
Compound verbs (fukugoudoshi) are formed by combining two words treated as a single word.
Learning about aspects when analyzing the meaning of verb formation would be beneficial. The use of aspects in Japanese significantly impacts meaning and usage. Aspect is the internal formation of time in a state, situation, or event. This study applies the perfective aspect to the compound verb kakeru. The perfective aspect depicts activities and changes from the beginning to the end of an action. In studying Japanese, particularly the compound verb kakeru, the researcher discovered indications that kakeru has its usage pattern. This peculiarity makes it challenging for Japanese language learners to use compound verbs containing the ~kakeru element. The case that occurred in the compound verb kakeru is intriguing to discuss. Therefore, this study was titled "kakeru Compound Verbs in Japanese Sentences." The following problem statements will direct this investigation: (1) What is the form of the Japanese compound verb kakeru? Moreover, (2) what is the meaning formed from the compound verb kakeru?

Literature Review
Verbs, compound verbs, kakeru compound verbs, semantics, morphology, and aspects are all explained in this literature review section, which is devoted to discussing topics connected to the topic under investigation.

Verb
According to Sutedi (Sutedi, 2011, p The shunkan doushi expresses an activity or state whose changes occur rapidly. The change at issue is "from not... to..." Shunkan doushi is called a punctual verb. Example: shinu = 'dead', Keizoku doushi is a verb that describes an activity or event requiring a specific amount of time, and a change takes place at each specified interval. Keizoku doushi is known as an action verb.

「しかける」は、変化や動作の直前の段階、あるい は動作に尐し取りかかった
段階を表す。 "~ kakeru" shows the stage just before the change or activity, and the activity stage has started some time. (Nitta, 2009) As depicted in the following figure.

Semantics
Semantics is a branch of linguistics that studies meaning. Semantics in Japanese is called imiron (意味論). According to Chaer (2013, p. 2), semantics is a commonly accepted term for the branch of linguistics that investigates the relationship between linguistic signs and the things they signify.
The objects of semantic study consist of the meaning of words, the relationship between the meanings of two or more words, the meaning of phrases, and the meaning of sentences. Sutedi (2011:11) divides the meaning of words into lexical meaning and grammatical meaning. Lexical meaning is the meaning of a word according to its actual reference as a result of sensory observation. Regardless of its grammatical elements, it can also be referred to as a word's original meaning. The lexical meaning in Japanese is called jishoteki imi (辞書的意味). The grammatical meaning is the meaning that results from grammatical processes like affixation, reduplication, and composition.
In Japanese, the grammatical meaning is referred to as bunpoutteki imi (文法的意味). Semantics is a branch of linguistics that discusses meaning in the form of word meanings, meaning relations, phrase meanings, and sentences in the language, according to some of the opinions presented above. When learning or analyzing a language, semantics is crucial. Based on the preceding theoretical explanation, it can conclude that research on the compound verb kakeru pertains to its grammatical meaning, i.e., the meaning of the compound verb kakeru that results from processes such as affixation and reduplication, and composition.

Morphology
Morphology is the study of the structure and formation of words. In Japanese morphology, it is known as keitairon (形態論). The term morphology derives from the words morph, which means "form," and logi, which means "science." Thus, morphology signifies the "science of form" (Chaer 2012). The lowest level of morphology studied is the morpheme.
In contrast, the highest level is complex words (Soeparno, 1993, p. 91). based on the experts' theoretical explanation, it can be concluded that morphology is the branch of linguistics that studies the formation of word forms. This research is also a part of morphology because it analyzes the structure of compound verbs.

Aspect
Aspect is a perspective on the internal formation of time in a situation, state, event, or process (Chaer, 2012, p. 259). In the meantime, according to Sutedi (2011, p. 93), the activity's aspect indicates that it will be initiated, is in progress, has been completed, or is repeated. Machida (2004) divides aspects into the perfective aspect (kanketsusou) and the imperfect aspect (kanketsusou) (hikanketsusou). Machida Ken also added an inchoative aspect (kidousou) and a terminative aspect (shuushisou) to this aspect's discussion.

Perfection Aspect
The perfective aspect is an aspect that describes an action as a whole without focusing on the process of its occurrence; it describes a completed action.

Imperfective Aspect
The imperfective aspect is an aspect that focuses on the ongoing process of action; that is, it does not see the beginning or end of the action and is an unfinished action.

Inchoative and Terminative Aspects
The aspect that indicates the start of action is known as the inchoative aspect. In contrast, the aspect that indicates the end of an action is known as the terminative or aggressive aspect.

Discussion
This study consists of qualitative. This study attempts to meticulously record all linguistic phenomena per the original and provide information on the actual language used. Based on this research, a study was conducted to examine the form and meaning of the Japanese compound verb kakeru using an interactive model (Miles, Huberman, & Saldana, 2014).
For this study's data, library techniques, specifically data collection from written sources, were According to Sudaryanto (2015, p. 19), the distributional method is a method whose determining tool is part of the language itself, such as words, syntactic functions (subjects, objects, predicates, etc.), clauses, and others. This method aims to determine the relationship between the meaning of the studied verb and its usage in Japanese sentences.
The final step of this research is the presentation of the findings from the data analysis. The results of the data analysis are presented using simple language and words that are straightforward to comprehend. The results of data analysis that are used as objects in writing are observed, categorized, and described in a paper, after which conclusions are drawn from the data containing the collected research objects. Thus, the structure and meaning of the Japanese compound verb kakeru can be known.
