Abstract

In this study, the language expression of “incomplete utterance” in the conversation between Japanese university students with respect to the interpersonal relationship of the participants (sex difference and degree of intimacy).   The results of this study are summarized as follows: First, the ratio of “incomplete utterance” was higher in the conversation between male university students than in the conversations between female university students. In the conversations between female university students, the ratio of “incomplete utterance” in the conversation between first-meeting people was slightly higher than that in the conversation between friends, whereas there is little difference in the ratio of “incomplete utterance” according to degree of intimacy in the conversation of male university students. when we associate the expression of “incomplete utterance” with the factor of degree of intimacy, the commonalities among all the conversation are summarized as follows: the most common use of the “connective particle form” among the various expressions forms of the “incomplete utterance”, many sentences that end with ‘kanji’ in the “noun form” and a high ratio of ‘mitaina’ and ‘tteiu’ in the form of “others.” On the other hand, as remarkable results related to the degree of intimacy are summarized as follows:the relatively high ratio of “connective particle form” both in the first conversation between male university students and conversation between female university students, and the relatively higher ratio of “noun form” in the conversation between friends, and on use of ‘node’ in the conversation between friends.
