A Comparative Study on Request Speech Acts Between Generations

doi:10.19033/sks.2020.12.70.189

The present study performs a comparative analysis of spoken speech acts in older generations against that of a younger generation, investigating the characteristics of speech and language strategies in each generation, in turn exploring the causes of language differences between them. Speech act questionnaires were conducted for subjects in their 20s, 70s, and 80s. The results suggest that younger generations produce more listener-centered utterances, whereas the older generations exhibit a tendency of speaker-centered speech. Such difference is attributed to a crucial divergence of values that each generation acknowledges. Speakers in their 20s seek amicable social relations; in contrast, the values of speakers in their 70s and 80s are contingent upon positive outcomes of their speech requests. While younger generations have entered the phase of social expansion, the opposite may hold true for older generations whose social networks are prone to continuous diminution, leading to a lack of conversational opportunities and enclosed social relations. Such factors may drive the differences in speech between the two generations.
