ABSTRACT

This paper reports the results of a contrastive language survey on construal types of Japanese native speakers and of Korean native learners of Japanese at pre-advanced to advanced proficiency levels. It has been argued in Ikegami(2007) that the tendencies of construal types of native speakers differ among languages and that the choice of construal types are manifested in the so-called Korean and Japanese languages share many grammatical and discourse features, we expected that there would be differences, how small they might be, between their tendencies for choosing construal types. To examine the differences, eleven reseach items were selected which would reflect the fashions of speaking of the Japanese language. The survey was conducted to compare and contrast the Japanese language produced by the Korean native learners of Japanese and that by the Japanese native speakers. Both the quantitative and qualitative analyses of the results show that the Korean native learners of Japanese tend to be more "objective" than the Japanese native speakers with regard to nine of the eleven survey items, which are "directionality of motion verbs", "giving and receiving", "invitation", "use of direct passives", "use of indirect passives", "choice of transiive/intransitive verbs", "encoding of 'Watashi'(I)", "expression of the first person emotion", and "construal of proposition (Koto)". The two survey items which did not manifest the differences are "Zero topicalization" and "encoding of the hearer (You)". *This paper presents a part of the research project funded by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (2011-2013 Kiban (C): Project Number 23520612, research representative: Kondoh Atsuko).
