마얀마어의 공손한 요청 표현에 대한 연구
Abstract
This study aims to find out how Myanmar people use polite language in daily life and investigate the use of request strategies under the factors of social distance status and age focusing on the use of request head acts strategies proposed by Blum-Kulka, et al. (1989). Many Myanmar conversations in different domains are noted and some examples are taken from the Myanmar popular novels. Then, the questionnaires are delivered to collect the data for analysis to twenty Myanmar native speakers. The data were elicited through the writing discourse completion test (DCT) adapted from the CCSARP project on request (Blum-Kulka, et al. 1989). Generally as a result, conventional indirect strategy (CI) is the most preference strategy and followed by the direct request (D) and the non-conventional indirect request strategy (NCI) respectively. Moreover, the result of the study shows that the factors of social distance status and age more and less affect which request strategy are chosen for producing a polite request by Myanmar.
