AB - The purpose of this paper is to consider what, and how, Japanese speakers and listeners see in using Japanese discourse, through observations of the attitudes exhibited by native speakers in situations of emotional conflict, viewed through a contrastive study of Korean and Japanese. The method employed in this paper is based on synchronous discourse theory. First, the authors focus on three cases of emotional conflict: 1) a comparison of chatting in Korean and Japanese speakers; 2) the rapidity with which interpersonal distances are noticed at a wedding ceremony; 3) the sense of incongruity arising from the difference between a person and their seat. It is conceivable that these three cases can be explained by differences of attitude or posture in the discourse usage of Korean and Japanese. Secondly, the authors investigate and discuss the descriptive models used in previous research. The best descriptive concept is found to be the Twofold Triangular System which Professor Sumio Hamada advanced as a model of acquisition to explain how an infant learns the meanings of the world through using the language of its mother. The Twofold Triangular System is regarded not as the system underlying infant language acquisition but as the base system of Japanese discourse usage. The system functions as follows: 1) a listener sees not only the objects the speaker sees but also sees how the speaker perceives the object; and 2) there is an exchange of attitudes between the listener and speaker with regard to how to view, behave towards, and handle the object, and what to feel about it. The Twofold Triangular System works well in cases in which the listener and speaker are standing in the same place or find themselves in the same situation. So, the importance of ‘Consciousness of Place (BAMEN ISHIKI)’, a descriptive concept in Japanese usage advanced by Motoki Tokieda in 1941, can be effectively explained using this Twofold Triangular System model.
