ABSTRACT

In this study, the free conversations in first contact situations were used as analysis material and compared with the native language situations and subcategorized by the subjects of the conversation topic. The purpose was to analyze the introduction and development of topics in first contact situations and to propose an application of its results to Japanese language education. “Contact situations”, where two or more different cultures come into contact with each other, have characteristics that differ from the “mother tongue situations” between native speakers, such as foreigner talk. Also, participants in the contact situations take on the roles of “language guest” and “language host”. As a result of classifying the beginning of the topic into questions, self-disclosure, and sharing, there was no significant difference between the mother tongue situations and the contact situations, but as a result of subcategorizing the subject, differences appeared. A topic that starts with a question is easy for a native speaker who is a language host to manage, so a topic for a “conversation participant” is easily selected similar to a native language situation. The topic that started with self-disclosure was influenced by the topic that started with the Japanese language learner who was the language guest, and the result was that “things” were easily chosen in the native language situations. However, there was a tendency for “conversation participants” to be chosen in the contact situations. Furthermore, as a result of analysis of the introduction and development of the topic in the contact situations, a tendency to show a topic development pattern and a confirmation pattern starting with a question is seen. As items that need to be taught to Japanese language learners, we proposed “topic development patterns for continuing or expanding topics” and “confirmation patterns.”
