ABSTRACT

Only the request discourse in the drama 'Minamisneyo' was used for the investigation in this research. The request discourse was analyzed on the basis of the polite theory proposed by Brown and Revinson, the principles of discourse operation proposed by Grice and the politeness theory proposed by Rich. Findings of this study suggest that the request action can violate the other person's scope,and the feeling of the others should be carefully considered on the linguistic actions by using clear and logical expressions.On the same request scenes of Korean and Japanese drama, the imperative expressions were the most widely used, and the indirect speech coupled with the polite expressions was used for relaxing that. In a request including the demand expressions, the declarative sentences were mainly used in the Korean drama, while the interrogative sentences were mainly used in the Japanese drama. Also,Japanese spoke the conclusion first, while the Korean talked stories regarding the past experiences, which was significantly different on the request contents and those volumes. In addition, Koreans usually awaked surroundings by speaking the postposition and the name of the other, which was a distinct characteristic compared to the Japanese drama.
