일본어 거절표현의 의미기능에 대한 일고찰 -일본어 모어화자와 학습자를 중심으로-

Abstract

This study conducted a role-play-based interview and its analysis by dividing the rejection expressions to the request of a professor into internal situation(JJ) and contact situation(JC.IK). The study results are as follows: 1) Looking at the average number of semantic formulas used per person, there appeared in the order of JC,JK and JJ, and it was found that native speaker JJ used a short and clear linguistic expression using a standardized the formula of rejection expression in comparison with Japanese learner JC &JK. 2) In the semantic formulas of <refusal expression>, JK showed a larger proportion of appearances than JJ and JC. The semantic formula of <calling one's attention> appeared from only JK. The semantic formula of <an alternative of friend introduction> appeared only from JC and JK. <Alternative Promise> was a semantic formula appearing from JJ, JC, and JK, which is the same as the questionnaire survey results. 3) In addition, this study was able to understand that when both the native speaker and learner don't use a direct <refusal expression>, they convey their intention of refusal using the semantic formula of <reason explanation>. 4) This study was also able to understand that among the <reason explanations> for refusal expression, ‘part-time work’ was, as an officially acknowledged business in Japan, used in both ‘internal situations’ and ‘contact situations’ while the reasons of ‘Class attendance & Club activity’ and ‘Related to applications’ are used as a valid reason in <contact situations>. In contrast, the customary expressions such as 'prior appointment, promise', which showed a high appearance in a questionnaire survey, showed a low number of appearances.
