ABSTRACT

This study analyzed similarities and differences in the production aspect and introduction strategies of narrative observed in daily conversation between the same sex speakers in Japanese and Korean. Results of this study can be summarized as follows: (A) In both Japanese and Korean conversation, narratives that contribute to the development of topics have the highest proportion of usage. As for the narrative produced to express consensus or empathy with the counterpart, it was observed more frequently in the conversation between female friends in both Japanese and Korean. (B) Participants produce narratives as a means of changing conversation to a new topic more often in Korean conversation than in Japanese conversation. Moreover, participants in Korean conversation tend to introduce narratives without using strategies. When a narrative relevant to a certain topic was initiated in Korean conversation, participants often use the strategy that presents the conclusion obtained from the event first. When producing the narrative that provides the information similar to what the counterpart provides, participants tend to use the strategy of expressing their will to speak. (C) A narrative that contributes to the conduction and development of topics is produced with a higher frequency in Japanese conversation than in Korean conversation. When producing a narrative to change the topic, Japanese often use the strategy of notifying the change of a flow of conversation. Moreover, when introducing a narrative related to the topic and a narrative that provides the information similar to what the counterpart provides, the most preferred strategy is to talk about the conclusion of the story first. The speaker often uses the strategy of expressing the will to talk spontaneously.
