Positive Face and Negative Face in Chinese and Japanese
Jingtong Kuang
Abstrak
: This paper is based on the politeness theory of language application that Brown and Levinson proposed in 1987. Both China and Japan belong to the Oriental civilization, and there is a certain similarity between Chinese and Japanese. This paper studies how face theory is embodied in Chinese and Japanese. It can be concluded that the expression of positive face in Chinese and Japanese is roughly the same. For the negative face, although Matsumoto (1988) and Mao (1994) have made criticism. However, negative face does exist in Chinese and Japanese, but the revealed phenomenon is not regarded as the meaning of face in Chinese.
