| Research Abstract |
According to the synchronous grouping model, a discourse unit has four distinct layers : an actuality ; an attitude ; a macrostructure and an expression. The articulation of each of these layers differs in Chinese, Korean and Japanese. For example, in Chinese and Korean request speech, the speaker's attitude is close to that of making a claim on the listener and the macrostructure and expression are more direct compared with those in Japanese. In Japanese request speech, the attitude resembles that of an appeal and the macrostructure and expression are less direct. Thus, in this research, Japanese speech style and modes of thinking are described both from a theoretical aspect and by referring to empirical data viewed through contrastive linguistics and contrastive dialectology.
