Seung Jae Lee . 2002 . A Corpus A naly s i s on T ouri sm Contex t s : With Special Emphas i s on A UXs . S t ud ie s in M od e rn Gramma r 27, 16 1- 177 . The purpose of this paper is to examine English discourses between overseas tourist s and locals, and find the linguistic clues to characterize the tourism situations . From the sociolinguistic perspective, these are analyzed by power and solidarity. From the pragmatic perspective, they can be explained by the Co- operative Principle and conversational maxims . In order to provide perceptible linguistic evidence to them, research on the modal auxiliaries (AUXs ) was conducted which represent the speaker ' s attitude in addition to their own semantic properties. The result shows intensive use of AUXs in tourism situations, which is further analyzed according to the situation. Based on this research, the noticeable frequency of would and will is accorded to the intrinsic property of the tourism, where hospit ality and courtesy are the goal. Consequently, this research demonstrates that the language is the result of social interactions and reflect s situational contexts .
