日本語教材の会話ストラテジーに関する小考 -自己紹介と依頼の場面を中心に-

Abstract

In this study, I investigated the communication strategy in Japanese native speakers and Japanesetexts. It turns out that the usage frequency and the species of the strategy depend on the scene, forexample, self-introduction and request, and also depend on the cases of the listener and the speaker. As for the Japanese native speakers, the usage frequency in the listener is 「いいえ」＞「はい」＞「ああ」 for the case of self-introduction, but it was 「はい」＞「ええ」＞「そうですか」＞「ああ」 for therequest. In the speaker, the frequency is 「あ」＞「あの」＞「はい」 for the self-introduction, and it is「あの」＞「あ」＞「はい」 for the request. However, the usage status of the communication strategy in Japanese texts seems to be different fromJapanese native speakers. For example, for the case of self-introduction, Japanese native speakers usuallyuse polite expressions and uses 「いいえ」 for the response to the polite expressions. But, Japanese textsonly show self-introduction conversation without using the strategy. In the case of self-introduction, thestrategy of the listener, 「いいえ」is used in 2 texts. The strategy of the speaker, 「あ」 is found in 4texts and 「あの」 is found in 2 texts. In the case of request, the strategy of the listener, 「はい」 isused in 4 texts and 「そうですか」 is used in 5 texts. The strategy of the speaker, 「あの」 is foundin 5 texts, 「あ」 and 「はい」 are found in 2 texts. Interestingly, in the case of request, cases of 「あの」 was not used so much than expected in the native speakers. Therefore, in this paper, I suggest to intensively treat the communication strategy between the listenerand the speaker and teach how to take the priority in the strategy in Japanese texts.
