For this, both Korean and Japanese native speakers who study in university located in a capital region in each country have been investigated. After performing a questionnaire survey using the Discourse Completion Test, the results have been classified into ‘functional factors’ based on the analysis framework of Kumagai(2000). Then, they were analyzed from the four perspectives; ‘number of functional factors used,’ ‘communication function usage rate, ‘functional factor usage rate’ and ‘combination of functional factors.’ Then, the following results were obtained: In Japanese language, a feeling was expressed, and the other person’s intention was asked using the following communication factors in general; ‘beginning of narration,’ ‘remark of reason’ and ‘behavior scene of offer.’ In Korean language, on the contrary, scenes of offer suggesting ‘declaration’ and ‘terms of exchange’ were frequently found. Moreover, the scenes of offer using many other expressions in addition to ‘current personal situation’ have been found.
