This study focuses on the ability of Brazilian learners of Korean to use appropriate expressions and speak politely according to Korea's social and cultural contexts, through analyzing the language and strategies used in request situations. Korean native speakers are highly influenced by the social power, which thus affect their politeness strategies. In the absence of friendship, however, Koreans have their strategies highly associated with politeness expressions regardless of contextual social power. They also tend to use longer request expressions and to ask for permission, which increases according to the situation's burden for the listener. On the other hand, in the case of Brazilian Portuguese native speakers, the level of acquaintance with the listener have more influence on the speaker's strategies than social power. Also, Brazilian learners of Korean situated in the context of the target language(KSL) use more expressions and strategies than learners of Korean as a foreign language(KFL) who used limited and fixed expression. Although KSL learners adopt more expressions, their length of stay in Korea seemed not to give influence on their expressions. Both groups still display expressions that are highly influenced by their native language. ，韩语论文网站，韩语毕业论文 |
