Abstract
Regarding Japanese and Chinese native speakers' language patterns, Japanese native speakers tend to consider their conversation from partner's point of view; while Chinese native speakers tend to speak in a more self–centered manner. These statements are examples of stereotypical thinking which read to be corrected. This research deal with six specific points: apology, rejection, solicitation, request, requiring and point out. This research was conducted based on a questionnaire which was districted among Japanese and Chinese native speakers in their 20s. Based on those responses, we will be addressing common similarities and differences between Japanese and Chinese native speakers.
