초록

Many cross-linguistic studies have argued there is a correlation between politeness and indirectness, although the results herein do not necessarily confirm this relationship. Linguistic forms alone cannot explain the conceptualization of (im) politeness given its conscious, meta-pragmatic and ideological nature. This study investigates the role of the Confucian values (Confucian scripts) that influences the way linguistic interaction is understood. Naturally occurring data derived from institutional discourse contexts were used and analyzed qualitatively by integrating both the Confucian framework and a spoken discourse approach. Findings herein highlight three important aspects of Korean honorific use in relation to linguistic politeness. First, along with the level of indirectness, Koreans reference both individual frameworks and cultural scripts in the negotiation of requests. Second, common cultural values function as another R variable since culturally shared knowledge (‘Confucian scripts’) is anchored on the individual frame, which directly controls power and distance variables

Abstract

Many cross-linguistic studies have argued there is a correlation between politeness and indirectness, although the results herein do not necessarily confirm this relationship. Linguistic forms alone cannot explain the conceptualization of (im) politeness given its conscious, meta-pragmatic and ideological nature. This study investigates the role of the Confucian values (Confucian scripts) that influences the way linguistic interaction is understood. Naturally occurring data derived from institutional discourse contexts were used and analyzed qualitatively by integrating both the Confucian framework and a spoken discourse approach. Findings herein highlight three important aspects of Korean honorific use in relation to linguistic politeness. First, along with the level of indirectness, Koreans reference both individual frameworks and cultural scripts in the negotiation of requests. Second, common cultural values function as another R variable since culturally shared knowledge (‘Confucian scripts’) is anchored on the individual frame, which directly controls power and distance variables
