ABSTRACT

In a lightly imposing scene of apology, it turned out that both Korean and Japanese male and female native speakers tend to use interaction of ‘core discourse’ with formulaic expressions of apology. In particular, Japanese native speakers showed a higher tendency to use it than Korean native speakers. Since it is not a highly imposition situation of apology, they often used ‘discourses related to follow-up’ and ‘parenthetical discourse’. In detail, Japanese female native speakers had a tendency to repeat ‘core discourse’ and more ‘parenthetical discourses’ while Japanese male native speakers showed a obvious tendency to terminate conversation only with ‘core discourse’. Korean male native speakers were characterized with ‘negotiating discourse’ which occurred before ‘core discourse’ began while Korean female native speakers had a strong tendency to end conversation only with ‘core discourse’.
