초록

This paper concerns the differences between Korean and Japanese in linguistic behavior of apology and linguistic expressions used when borrowing money. Those differences result from the uniqueness of their own culture and mindset, which influences their communication styles. Findings of the paper can be summarized as follows;(1) When Koreans borrow a small amount of money, they do not consider seriously whether or not it is really appropriate to borrow the money. In contrast, Japanese tend to borrow money after they consider whether it is appropriate to do so; in particular, they consider the urgency and the necessity of doing so. Such a difference can result in confusion or miscommunication when speakers from the two cultures communicate each other.
(2) When Japanese people apologize, it is not important how close the person they apologize to is. Consequently, similar expressions of apology can be used regardless of the degree of intimacy between them. In contrast, the degree of intimacy between the two people can decide the kind of linguistic expressions of apology in Korean. When Japanese people borrow a small amount of money, they promise to pay it back in a more serious way than Korean people do; they talk about it a lot and seriously. Meanwhile, Koreans, when they borrow a large amount of money, promise to pay it back more seriously than Japanese people do.
