Abstract

This study aimed to collect the conversation on low burden behavioral invitations to the friends among the male university students in Korea and Japan and to understand how those invitation behaviors proceeded during the conversation process. Both country students showed unmarked behaviors which generated the interaction to set up the agenda for the invitation implementation after the conversation related to the invitation followed by the acceptance from the counterpart. In addition, sudden invitation without conversation related to the invitation was marked behaviors in Japanese language, while it could be unmarked behaviors in Korean language. Moreover, it was clarified based on the practical data that the invitation behavioral process was affected by the level of shared information that knew each other on the invitation context between the inviters and the invitee. With respect to the relationship between initiation cascade prior to the invitation and verb expression of the invitation initiation, both invitation and questioning sentences were used, however, the impact whether to have initiation cascade prior to the invitation was minor on the usages of each expression in Korean language. On the other hand, if the recipients mentioned on the negative context for the invitation prior to initiation, it showed the characteristics to consider the counterparts on their negative faces using questioning sentences in Japanese language.
