In this present study, unlike other previous studies which focused on realization of request strategies, the main point is to research and analyze how request expressions affects minimizing imposition level of request according to indirectness of request. Also, add to social distance and social power, which are variables of existing request speech act , this thesis paper divides 'official' and 'private' according to the contents of request. At last, in the thesis, I set 'strangers‘, unfamiliar relationship that has no social relationship at all; therefore, it is aimed for finding how different request strategies and request expression are to each group according to each variables.
120 people, including 40 Korean native speakers, 40 Japanese native speakers, and 40 Japanese Korean learners, are selected to research and analyze the trend of request strategies and request expressions through DCT.
The composition of the this paper is like the following. In chapter 1, through describing the aims and necessity of this study and investigating the previous studies related to request expressions, not only request strategies but also necessity of studying request expressions. In chapter 2, it defines the concept of Korean engings of sentences which minimizes imposition of requests. In chapter 3, it describes how to collect all the information for this paper. In order to gain validity of set-up of request situations and I also did pilot test in order to gain reliability as well as validity. In addition, through this experiment, it suggests the frame work of analysis of request strategies and request expressions. In chapter 4, it analyze request strategies and request expressions according to each variables, based on the results of this research. In chapter 5, it shows final result through synthesis analyzing all the research results. First, in terms of realization of request strategies, JKL group shows a transient phenomenon of realization of request speech act between KNS group and JNS group. Second, in terms of realization of request expressions, KNS group tend to balance using indirect request expressions when request strategies are very direct, however, JKL groups could not reach to the complementary coorperation of both request strategy and request expression and when JKL accomplish direct request strategies their the request expressions mostly comes direct. Also KNS groups it seeks the various indirect request expressions, however, in case of JKL groups, the limited indirect request expressions are used.
