| Research Abstract |
This research defines script-dependent communication behavior as that which is used repeatedly, and after assembling basic data for the construction of a typological model of it, analyzed the functions of various factors in such language behavior. In specific, we examined the following communication situations. (1) Language behavior in purchase sales interactions. A corpus of video recordings was created of purchase-sales interactions in Yamagata and Nara Prefectures. Transcriptions were made of the data, and a typology was made of situational progression and the function of linguistic-factors, based on regional variation. (2) Language behavior towards foreigners. Surveys were performed of the linguistic behavior of native speakers towards non-native speaker foreigners; this kind of contact situation growing in frequency and importance in Japanese society. Following the construction of a corpus of this contact situation data, variationist analyses were performed of the role of sociolinguistic characteristics of interlocutors.
