| Summary: | Aizuchi, feedback and insertion are the 3 important elements in
a Japanese language conversation. Aizuchi and feedback can be
categorized as short utterance. This paper discussed short utterance
in a conversation between native speakers and non-native speakers
of Japanese language based on writer’s research findings. This is
because in general, students of Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM)
have problems in constructing a real-life conversation in Japanese
language. This paper tried to analyze the conversational situation
between two Malaysian tour guides and two Japanese tourists. The
face-to-face conversation occured when the tour guides brought the
tourists to Aquaria KLCC (G1&T1) and Istana Negara (G2&T2).
This research intended to expose the conversation between the
culture of native speaker and non-native speaker as a reference to
students who are learning Japanese language. |
