There have been numerous efforts to identify universal norms or strategies in the realization of request speech act in cross-cultural pragmatics. One of the well known is the Cross-Cultural Speech Act Realization Project (Blum-Kulka et al. 1989). However, there has been little work on East Asian languages, particularly between Chinese and Korea. An investigation in this area would be unprecedented, and makes an invaluable contribution to the study of speech acts. The current study will also use a better methodology, in that unlike most previous studies the data is a combination of role-plays and spontaneous speech, providing a sufficient and natural data collection. The methodology adapts the principles used by the Cross-Cultural Speech Act Realization Project, but a modified version of its coding system is used to suit the different linguistic characteristics of the two East Asian languages. Data have been collected in a workplace setting, role-plays by video-taping and naturally occurring data by audio-taping among office workers, collected in Korea and China at two medium-sized companies in white-collar environments."@en . . . . . . "This book investigates request strategies in Mandarin Chinese and Korean, and is one of the first attempts to address cross-cultural strategies employed in the speech act of requests in two non-Western languages. The data, drawn from role-plays and naturally recorded conversations, complement each other in terms of exhaustiveness and authenticity. This study explores the similarities and differences of the request patterns that emerged in the Chinese and Korean data, and the intricate relation between request strategies and social factors (such as power and distance).
