초록
This study investigates interactional competence for the sake of developing complete language proficiency. As a way of responding appropriately, the speech act of commiserating is highlighted in this study. When someone details an unpleasant or unsatisfying experience, commiserating is a common reaction (Boxer 1993). Two ‘troubles-telling’ situations are selected from collection and the data are compared depending on different situations. According to the findings, situational factors are found to affect the types of commiseration strategies used. When there is someone or someone’s behavior to be blamed, focusing on the offense is the most common behavior in Korean. When there’s no object to be blamed, encouraging the trouble-teller is the most preferred. A cross-cultural view has been considered in order to understand Korean data from a broad context. From this view, perspective-taking plays a role in distinguishing cultural differences in expressing empathy.
Abstract
This study investigates interactional competence for the sake of developing complete language proficiency. As a way of responding appropriately, the speech act of commiserating is highlighted in this study. When someone details an unpleasant or unsatisfying experience, commiserating is a common reaction (Boxer 1993). Two ‘troubles-telling’ situations are selected from collection and the data are compared depending on different situations. According to the findings, situational factors are found to affect the types of commiseration strategies used. When there is someone or someone’s behavior to be blamed, focusing on the offense is the most common behavior in Korean. When there’s no object to be blamed, encouraging the trouble-teller is the most preferred. A cross-cultural view has been considered in order to understand Korean data from a broad context. From this view, perspective-taking plays a role in distinguishing cultural differences in expressing empathy.
