거절의 완화 전략: 공손성과 체면을 중심으로

초록

In this study, we considered the hedges of rejection to preserve politeness and face in communication. Politeness and face can function as a discourse strategy for smooth communication. In addition, hedges can be used as a device to minimize conflict among participants in conversation while maintaining the intention of speech in the discourse. When rejecting the other party's proposal, etc., the participant in the conversation maintains politeness, and hedges can be used to lead the conversation in a manner that minimizes damage to the face of the speaker and the other party. This study analyzed the hedges of rejection in the dialogue act of rejection through Russian example sentences. These hedging strategy are largely ‘Reservation’, ‘Sympathy and concern’, ‘Evasion’, ‘Guess’. All four strategies were marked in terms of politeness and the speaker's own face. In terms of the conversation partner's face, the strategy of ‘Reservation’ and ‘Sympathy and concern’ maintained the face, while in the case of ‘Evasion’ and ‘Guess’, it could be judged that there was a loss of face. The degree of politeness and face maintenance could also be considered. In terms of the degree of politeness, it was concluded that the degree of politeness was higher in ‘Reservation’, ‘Sympathy and concern’ and ‘Guess’ than ‘Evasion’. In terms of the speaker's own face maintenance, it could be seen that the degree of face maintenance was similar for all. ‘Reservation’, ‘Sympathy and concern’ could be seen as strategies to minimize the conversation partner's face loss rather than ‘Evasion’ and ‘Guess’.
