AB - This research is a case study on the communication competence and language maintenance by a Korean learner (HT) of Japanese language. The analysis focuses on expressions of supposition and request for confirmation and clarifies constraints on the use of these expressions observed in HT’s speech. Speech data was collected through a longitudinal survey totalizing 12 recordings over the various steps of HT’s language acquisition. The last survey was carried out ten years after HT returned to Korea. The results are summarizes as below: (a) The use of expressions of “doubt”, “supposition” and “request for confirmation of proposition” indicates HT’s uncertainty about his opinion or information he is conveying. (b) “Request for confirmation of shared knowledge” is used based only on the speaker’s point of view and knowledge. The speaker assumes that the hearer has the same point of view as his. (c) The analysis of the data shows that the speaker does not consider shared knowledge with the hearer from the hearer’s point of view when using expressions of supposition and request for confirmation. This is probably due to simplification of the constraints which affect the use of modality expressions. This simplification may also ease the speaker’s language performance.
