| Abstract(in English) | Since 1996, we have conducted an experimental study concerning the relative contributions of lexical and prosodic factors to the perception of politeness, using Kumamoto Japanese as the target language. In the first half of the paper we will recapitulate the main results of the preceding studies. In the last half of the paper, we will discuss the problem of age-related differences in the perception of politeness. In the preceding studies, that dealt with the data obtainwd from relatively young subjects, we concluded that the contributions of the lexical and prosodic factors are nearly the same. However, the analyses of our latest data, that covers wider range of subjects in terms of their age, reveals that the contribution of the lexical factor is much greater than prosodic factor in aged subjects' group, whercas prosodic factor is more important than lexical factor in the group of junior high school students. |
