<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>In this chapter, we examine American and Japanese performance of the speech act of correction by looking at how this speech act is performed with status unequals-a person of lower status addressing someone of higher status and a person of higher status addressing someone of lower status. By focusing on correction, we are not looking at opinions, but rather at situations where one person knows the other has made a factual error. By looking at situations between a professor and a student, we are choosing situations where the roles are clearly defined and the status relationships are relatively clear-cut. The difference in status here is not necessarily socio-economic, but rather a matter of the power structure within the classroom.</jats:p>
