거절전략의 변화와 의미 고찰 ‒1차 거절표현에서 2차 거절표현을 중심으로‒

Abstract

n this study, a researcher investigated how people represent rejections in Politeness. The object in the study was included as an expression followed by primary to secondary refusal expressions such as proposal, request, recommendation. In order to achieve purposes each other in the language of human behavior, they give and take many strategies. I found two different kinds of results such as an active politeness strategy and a passive politeness strategy among many strategies. Usami(2003) said that according to the politeness theory, Brown & Levinson (1987), in case of a positive face, they used active politeness strategies. On the other hand, in case of negative face, they used passive politeness strategies. In contrast with Usami’s previous study (2003), they showed a use of an opposite Politeness Strategy. In case of scene of rejection, they expressed their thoughts with maintaining their appearances. To examine these results, I collected and analyzed usages from Primary refusal expressions to secondary refusal expressions among 180 Korea dramas and 146 Japanese dramas. The usages connected to the secondary refusal were totally 46. In case of secondary refusal expressions, Korea is nearly twice more than Japan. As a result, there were 12 among 42 secondary refusal expressions such as changes from speaker center to listener center or listener center. Among them, politeness strategies shown the changes were able to confirm nine.
