Usage Patterns of Korean and Japanese Metalinguistic Expressions - Focusing on Gender Differences and Discourse-Management Functions -
This study examines the use of metalinguistic expressions in first-time conversational encounters between Japanese native speakers and Korean learners of Japanese, based on natural conversation data. The analysis focuses on overall frequency, functional distribution, and particularly the subcategories of contextual development functions. The results reveal that Japanese native speakers tend to prioritize accuracy and politeness through frequent use of expression-searching strategies, with relatively limited gender differences. In contrast, Korean learners of Japanese show a higher reliance on contextual development functions. Female learners actively initiate and manage conversations through topic initiation and intervention, while male learners tend to adopt strategies aimed at maintaining stability and minimizing interactional risk. These gender-based differences are more salient in cross-cultural contact situations than in native-language contexts. The findings suggest that metalinguistic expressions function not merely as indicators of linguistic competence but as strategic resources reflecting the intersection of gender and culture in interpersonal communication. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of pragmatic variation in first-encounter conversations and offers pedagogical implications for Japanese language education and intercultural communication.
