AB - Japanese and Korean languages employ past-tense forms in expressions of repair (gratitude and apology formulae), as exemplified by phrases such as "arigatou-gozaimasita (thank you-PAST)", "sumimasen-desita (I am sorry-PAST)", and "kamsaha-ysssupnita (thank you-PAST)", "coysongha-ysssupnita (I am sorry-PAST)". These repair expressions can be analyzed through the model of interpersonal repairing (cf. Moriyama1992). In this theoretical framework, repairing expressions serve as symbolic manifestations of the speaker's indebtedness resulting from antecedent unbalanced interpersonal relationships, and a negative response from the hearer can explicitly rectify the unbalanced relation. Consequently, maintaining balanced interpersonal relationships is achieved.
While performative expressions of repair formulae cannot be rendered in the past tense, Japanese repairing expressions concerning mental attitudes are frequently employed in the past tense. This choice is made in consideration of the temporal relation with the main event that occurred previously. The use of past tense in Japanese repair expressions carries connotations of seriousness. For instance, in cases of profound gratitude, the past form of the gratitude formula is preferred.
Conversely, the utilization of past forms of repair differs in Korean. Past forms of gratitude and apology are exclusively employed in situations where there is a disassociated circumstance with the present time in Korean. Therefore, it is crucial to recognize the difference in the usage of past forms of repair expressions between Japanese and Korean.
