纵观世界各国，日本可以理所当然地声称自己是一个伟大的“Twitter国家”（Akimoto 2011）。日本人喜欢随时随地发推特。虽然Twitter在日本的流行通常与日本字符集的大信息容量有关（Wagner 2013），但Neubig和Duh（2013）证明情况并非如此。我们的研究比较了日本人和美国人发布的两组数据（每组300条推文），结果表明日本人的推文比美国人的推文包含更多的单一性特征，或者显示出更高的单一性程度。此外，日语推文中超过60%的句子结尾形式没有编码明确的收件人方向。研究表明，在语言上让日本用户充分享受到Twitter提供的在线匿名和收件人不规范的好处的，不是日语独特的字符集，而是单一化的语法设备。
Across the countries of the world, Japan can rightly claim to be a great “Twitter nation” (Akimoto 2011). Japanese people like to tweet anytime and anywhere. Although the popularity of Twitter in Japan is often associated with the large information capacity of Japanese character sets (Wagner 2013),Neubig and Duh (2013)prove that this is not necessarily the case. Our research compares two sets of data (300 tweets for each) posted by Japanese and Americans, and demonstrates that Japanese tweets contain more monologic features, or show a higher degree of monologicity, than Americans’ tweets. Also, more than 60% of the sentence-ending forms in the Japanese tweets do not encode explicit addressee orientation. The study reveals that it is not the Japanese unique character sets, but the grammatical devices for monologization that linguistically allow Japanese users to enjoy the fullest benefits of online anonymity and addressee underspecification provided by Twitter.
