| Research Abstract |
The results of the resarch are as follows.
1) The first proposals of the foreign informants follow the proposal-request sequences immediately and their responses to the proposals also follow the proposal sequences promptly, whereas the Japanese informants have a tendency to avoid answering immediately.
2) Japanese native speakers have a tendency to express their different opinions in the dispreferred position, and in addition they tend to phrase their opinion as a self-quotation form when offering a different opinion.
3)The rhythm in the conversations between a Japanese and 1) a Japanese, 2) a Taiwanese, 3) an American were analized respectively in the method employed by Szatrowski. In 1), a part of the results of the method employed by Szatrowski were confirmed. In 2) and 3), their haracteristics and gradual changes were observed.
4) In the discourse of Native speakers and intermidiate level of learners, two types of communication principle, Persuation and Sympathy, are well balanced. However discourse of learners in advanced level consist of much in Persuation than in sympathy.
5) In SELF-COMPLETING speech style, a sentence was finished with DESU, MASU or a plain form of a verb, which gave a listener a sense of completion of the topic. In INVITING-A-LISTENER-TO-TALK style, a sentence was finished in such manners as the latter part of the setence left unsaid, putting a final particle NE, or asking question.
