The usages of ‘making apathy’ with the expression of positive treatment in the Japanese language and its factors were reviewed and analyzed in this study. ‘Making apathy’ with multiple expressions of positive treatment was used in a variety of personal relationships, and the factors of these linguistic behaviors could be classified mainly into two things; ‘making apathy to empathize the expression intention’ and ‘making apathy to show the expression intention unclearly.’ Out of these two, ‘making apathy to empathize the expression intention’ appeared more frequently, which could be considered the communication of perfect negative treatment not to aim a harmonious personal relationship with partners. On the other hand, ‘apathy expression to empathize the expression intention’ was used less frequently, which could be considered the negative treatment communication to maintain a harmonious relationship with partners to some extent. In terms of expression types, both ‘the things that can understand the expression intention just from the expression itself’ and ‘the things that can understand only if the context is understood’ were used variously.

This paper is a contrastive study of Korean and Japan phone use, focusing on the act of choosing whether to use a phone call or a text-message with a cellular phone. Differentiating from previous studies which survey the actual situation separately, we investigated some factors influencing the choice both quantitatively and qualitatively. Through the analysis, we found out that the users of cellular phones use a phone call and a text-message not randomly but regularly. We confirmed honorific behavior in information behavior in regular media use. The appearance of a new form of honorific behavior, the choice of language media, is suggested. On the other hand, we can point out that the usual communication styles can be reflected in the choice. In short, by analyzing the choice in a cellular phone, we can find out that communication as a “human” user is alive in a “machine”, a cellular phone.

본 연구에서는 일본인 학습자들을 대상으로 한국어의 대우법을 효과적으로 교육하여 바른 표현을 이끌어 낼 수 있는 방안을 모색하고자 하는 데 그 목적을 두었다. 일본인 학습자를 대상으로 한 한국어 대우법 교육에 반영되어야 할 점은 다음과 같다고 볼 수 있다. 첫째, 주체높임법, 상대높임법, 특수어휘높임법만을 구별한 기계적 문법교육은 지양되어야 한다. 둘째, 수업모형 및 단원 구성에 있어서 한국어와 일본어의 대우법의 차이점의 고려가 집중적으로 다루어져야 한다. 셋째, 교재 및 단원구성에 있어서는, 실생활에서 가장 많이 접하는 관계를 중심으로 그 예를 비교적 다양하게 제시해야 한다. 역할극을 활용한 한국어 대우법 수업은 학습자간의 상호 대화를 통하여 학습에 적극 참여할 수 있는 기회를 제공할 수 있어 바람직한 한국어 학습 방안 중 하나라고 할 수 있다.
