In this study, I investigated how listeners respond to the opinion statements in the conversational closings. I analyzed the Japanese conversation of opinion exchange in contact situations to make a comparison of the behavioral features between the advanced- and intermediate-level Japanese speakers. Based on if there were the listeners’ responses to the opinion statements and if the listeners took speaking turns or the speakers held speaking turns right after the closings, the conversational closings have the following four types, “response – turn-taking”, “no response – turn-taking”, “response – turn-holding” and “no response – turn-holding”. Frequency of those four types was used for the comparison. The results showed that the frequency of “response – turn-taking” was the highest in the contact situations by the conversational participants including the advanced-level Japanese speakers. The participants most commonly took speaking turns after responding to the conversational partners’ opinion statements in the closings. By contrast, the frequency of “no response – turn-taking” was the highest in the contact situations by the participants including the intermediate-level speakers. The behavioral feature was that the participants took speaking turns without responding to the conversational partners’ opinion statements. The results revealed that non-native Japanese speakers apparently have such tendency.
