AB - This study examines Korean/Japanese and gender differences in positive politeness strategy focused on the expression of ‘Comprehension’ and ‘Agreement/Empathy’ in same-sex and mixed-sex conversations between friends. The results of the study are summarized as follows. Comparing the proportions of strategies: (A) Japanese speakers tend to adopt the strategy, which indicates that they are paying moreattention tothe speaker`s utterance than Korean speakers do, while Korean speakers tend to adopt the strategy of claiming common points of view andempathy more than Japanese speakers do. (B)Both Japanese and Korean women tend to adopt the strategy of claiming common points of view and empathy more than men do, while both Japanese and Korean men tend to adopt the strategy that indicates their attention to speakers more than women do. (C) The distribution of strategies in mixed conversations shows that the differences between men and women are reduced. In conversations between close friends, Korean and Japanese use positive politeness strategies to save their friend`s face. However, the differences in the distribution of positive politeness strategies between Korean/Japanese and gender differences have led to the suggestion that the way of saving their friend`s positive face may differ. Even though the preference of strategies in all women conversations and all men conversations are rather different, the differences are reduced as a result of accommodation when women and men interact with each other.
