Description

ln this paper,regional and gender differences found in expressions of refusal as used by university students are analyzed, as well as patterns of semantics formulas，forms of apology, forms of explicit refusal，and levels of consideration. lt was found that though the content of the requests were identical, the social position of the addressee as a senior or a junior as well as the respondent's gender were factors in differences of expression. As for regional differences, it was found that the rate of explicit refusal was common for males from the western region, such as the use of the word "impossible" toward juniors，and the value of sample variance was high. Females from the eastern region frequently proposed alternative plans and displayed sympathy, especially toward seniors, and also displayed a low value of consideration. From these characteristics and others, it can be said that regional difference can be counted among the factors for difference in expression.
