초록
The present study explores South Korean university students’requesting behavior in cross-cultural interaction via computer. A total of 296natural request tokens were collected from 180 Internet chatting sessionsbetween South Korean and Japanese university students. The focus of the dataanalysis was on South Korean students’ choice of request strategy types andtheir use of mitigating devices. In addition, it examined gender differences intheir requesting behavior. The analysis showed that the Korean universitystudents employed a variety of request strategies, including both direct andindirect, although their preference for mood derivables (i.e., imperatives)appeared stronger than that for other types. With regard to their mitigatingbehavior, the South Korean students predominantly used grounders (i.e.,expressions providing the underlying reasons preceded or followed by arequest token) and politeness markers such as please. Gender differences werefound in the preference for request strategies. Overall, male students favoredmood derivables over the other strategy types to a great degree than didfemale students. However, no gender difference was observed in their use ofmitigation strategy. Discussion on the findings of the study is included.
