This paper discussesRefusalexpressions of Japanese university students and Korean university students. The results of my Discourse Role tests show: 1. Korean university students use more Negative politeness for older brothers and sisters than Japanese university students. 2. Japanese university students use mutual face withreasonandapologyfor close seniors. Japanese students use a conjunctionnodewhen they expressreason. But Japanese students use a conjunctionkarawhen they expressreasonto older brothers and sisters. 3. Korean university students use selfish-face when they expressreasonandavoidanceto close seniors. 4. Japanese students use mutual face for close seniors often. But Korean students always use selfish-face for brothers, sisters and close seniors. 5. Japanese students useapologymore often in the second refusal than in the first, because they work on the positive face of their elder brothers and sisters. But Korean students usereasonmore often in the second refusal than in the first, because they want their elder brothers and sisters to understand their circumstances. 6. Japanese students usequestionin the second refusal, while Korean students do not use it often.
