AB - In the project “Writing Support System using E-mail Writing Tasks” being developed by the authors, learners are provided with appropriate advice on how to show consideration to readers based on the text that they have written. In order to provide learners with appropriate advice about the system, the authors have collected a large amount of e-mail language data for various tasks, written by both Japanese native speakers and learners of Japanese. For this study, e-mails written by 30 Japanese native speakers and 30 Japanese natives to reject translation request from an acquaintance have been analyzed and compared. The results showed that Korean learners tended to use expressions which, while not grammatically incorrect, may be misconstrued by the reader as arrogant. Examples of these were 1) メール見ました (I read your e-mail) and メールちゃんと読みました (I read your e-mail well) as acknowledge-ments of receipt of the email, 2) 助ける (help) in-stead of 手伝う (help) as a ‘softening expression’ preceding the rejection, 3) multiple repetitions of apologetic expressions in the apology, and 4) assertions such as “できない” or “無理だ”or incomplete sentences with omitted portions such as “それはちょっと…” in the ‘rejection’. Based on these findings, the authors plan to incorporate advice on inappropriate expressions and recommended expressions used by Japanese native speakers to help users of their writing support system compose e-mails that show consideration for the reader.
