中日トークショー番組における割り込み発話の対照研究 －司会者の会話分析

Abstract

The service condition, frequency of occurrence, characteristics and the specific similarities and differences of the Chinese and Japanese hosts have been studied in this paper, for which data were collected from the viewpoint of the function and position of interjections by the hosts in Chinese and Japanese talk shows. Specifically, the analysis was conducted with 40 analyzed data from the dialogue scenes of talk show hosts (1 male and 1 female) with guests (5 males and 5 females) from two countries. The results of this study showed that two above countries used the "additional explanation" interruption function most frequently. In China, "a new topic" of "interruption that creates a new floor" could occur frequently, which can easily be interpreted as a tendency to threaten the reputation of other party. On the contrary, Japanese hosts preferred to use the "interruption in the floor of the previous speaker" function to “appealing discourse” function of the "interjection in a new topic". Compared to the "a new topic" function that prompts new information by snatching topics, the Japanese hosts would prefer to use "shared conversation" function of empathy, comprehension and acknowledgement expressed from the content of speaker, and try to maintain a smooth flow of conversation without threatening the reputation of other speakers. Regarding the position of interruptions, the proportion of interruptions in the "predicate" was more than half in two countries. In addition, it was found that interruptions after the "dependent clause" in Japan were highly frequent than those in China.
