Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of this research is (1) to collect functionally equivalent sign expressions in public spaces in Japanese and German, and (2) to compare them with respect to politeness to reveal whether and how politeness is formulated in sign expressions in each language in relation to explicitness. Based on the findings, it is pointed out that each language has its preferred styles of politeness, even for sign expressions, which are expected to give relevant information or instructions to passengers in a clear, direct manner.
