| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research compared the development of request discourse in Japanese and Chinese from the perspective of the mode of thinking. The differences could be observed in terms of 4 layers: an actuality; an attitude; a macrostructure of information and an expression. The Japanese requests collected in the research included less information about what the speaker wanted and were expressed indirectly. This was explained as a consequence of the Japanese belief that request acts can risk damaging a relationship. Indirect expressions with less content are regarded as polite since they do not disturb the impression that people have a strong mutual respect for one another’s feelings. For Chinese people, on the other hand, it was found that request acts have a more positive value insofar as they bind people together. Requests are therefore regarded as polite when clear and precise because this makes it easier for the listener to fulfill the request.
