| 抄録: | Research into native speakers’ judgments of politeness in non-native speech provides useful information for teaching politeness in a foreign/second language and developing teaching materials. However, as Enomoto and Marriott (1994) point out, there are few studies addressing this topic.
In this paper, Japanese native speakers’ judgments of politeness in non-native speech in a speech event of sales are examined. Based on a five-point scale, forty adult Japanese women in Japan subjectively evaluated politeness in the speech performance of two non-native speaker sales clerks. Those two speakers were intermediate-level learners of Japanese-as-a-second-language, but at somewhat different levels of proficiency. It was found that non-verbal or paralinguistic features of speech were significant factors in the judgments. In terms of use of honorifics, the percentage of honorific expressions in the more proficient learner’s total utterances was lower than that in the less proficient one’s. It was found that native speakers judged the less proficient speaker more polite than the more proficient speaker. The ratio of the number of honorific expressions to the total number of utterances may affect the judgments of politeness. On the other hand, the native speakers judged the more fluent speaker better as a sales clerk. This result suggests that politeness is not a major indicator of a good sales clerk |
