本硏究では、樣?な言語行動の中の１つである譽め行動に注目し、實際の初對面の會話における韓國と日本の譽め行動の樣相を性差要因と絡めて調べた。 その結果を簡單にまとめると、以下の通りである。まず、韓·日の大學生の初對面の會話に現れた譽めの頻度を見ると、韓國人の初對面の會話より日本人の初對面の會話で譽めの頻度が高く、韓·日ともに男子大學生の會話より女子大學生の會話で譽めの頻度が高かった。譽めの對象の場合は、韓國人の會話では性格、關係者、外見、技量の４つの項目にかけてすべて割合が高く、特に男子大學生の會話では外見、關係者の割合が相對的に高く、女子大學生の會話では性格の割合が相對的に高く、男女によって譽めの對象に差があることが示唆された。これに對し、日本人の會話の場合は、男女共通して技量と關係者の割合が相對的に高く、譽めの對象において使用樣相が類していた。次に、譽めへの反應の場合は、韓國人の會話では否定と回避の占める割合が高かったのに對し、日本人の會話では否定の割合が壓倒的に高かった。譽めへの反應を譽めの對象別にみると、韓·日ともに譽めの對象が關係者の場合、相對的に肯定の應答の割合が高かった。さらに關係者に加え、韓國人の男子大學生の會話では賞贊の對象が技量の場合に、韓國人の女子大學生の會話では性格の場合に、また日本人の女子大學生の會話では所有物の場合にそれぞれ相對的に肯定の反應の割合が高く、譽め行動の樣相には言語別、男女別に共通点もあるが、相違点もあることが分かった。

In this study, compliment, which is one of various language behaviors, in Korean first-time conversation and Japanese first-time conversation was investigated focusing on sex difference factor. The results are briefly summarized as follows. First, for the frequency of compliment, the frequency of compliment in Japanese conversation was higher than that in Korean conversations, and in both Korean and Japanese, the frequency of compliment in conversations between female students was higher than that in conversations between male students. For subjects of compliment, the proportions of personality, related matter, appearance and skills were similarly high in Korean conversations. Particularly, the proportions of appearance and skills were relatively high in conversations between male students, and the proportion of personality was relatively high in conversations between female students. On the other hand, in Japanese conversations, the proportions of related matter and skills were relatively high irrespective of sex. For the response to compliment, the proportions of negation and avoidance were high in Korean conversations, whereas the proportion of denial was overwhelmingly high in Japanese conversations. For the response to compliments by subjects, the proportion of positive response was relatively high when the subject of compliment was related matter in both Korean and Japanese. Furthermore, in addition to related matter, in case of the subject of compliment being skills in conversations between Korean male college students, in the case of the subject of compliment being personality in conversations between Korean female college students, and in the case of the subject of compliment being possession in conversations between Japanese female college students, the percentage of positive response was relatively high.
