Topic Management during Contact Situations at First Encounters

我们分析了两名同性别的全职成年人在日本人与中国人、日本人与韩国人的接触情景中，操纵对话的语言和地点(国家)的第一次接触的记录数据，以及对话参与者的问卷调查和访谈数据。结果发现，与跨文化成员关系范畴相关的话题在会话中呈现一致的倾向，而不受语言和会话地点的影响，这与母语情景下的结果不同。我们还发现，对受所用语言和会话地点影响的角色行为的认知调节了在接触情景中举行的会话的参与方式。

We analysed the recorded data of the conversations between twoadults with full-time jobs of the same sex at first encounters in the contact situationsbetween Japanese and Chinese and between Japanese and South Korean, manipulating the languages used and places (countries) of the conversations, as well as the questionnairesand the interview data from the participants of the conversations. As a result, we found the strong tendency that the topics related to the intercultural membership categoriesraised consistently in the conversations regardless of the language used and the placeof conversations, which differed from the result of the native situations.We also found that the recognition of the “role behavior” which was affected by the language used and the place where the conversations took place regulated the way of participation in the conversation held in the contact situations.
