Abstract

This study aims to investigate the discourse structure of refusal to requests in interactions among Japanese female university students, examining the roles adopted and assigned by speakers, the phases of refusal discourse, and the organization of moves. This qualitative case study research involves 20 pairs of female participants from a public university in Kanazawa, Japan. The data are obtained through video-recorded role-play exchanges based on provided scenarios. The findings reveal that refusals are not expressed as direct rejections but rather emerge through a staged, interactionally negotiated process characterized by indirectness, mitigation, and sensitivity to interpersonal relationships. Speakers collaboratively construct refusals through gradual shifts in speech functions and role relations, often employing incongruent realizations in which linguistic forms diverge from their intended communicative functions. These patterns enable participants to manage face-threatening acts while preserving social harmony. The study underscores the role of discourse-semantic resources and politeness strategies in shaping refusal practices, offering broader implications for cross-cultural communication, pragmatics, and the teaching of Japanese as a foreign language, particularly in developing learners’ awareness of culturally appropriate interactional norms.

Abstract

This article analyzes the strategic role of the Alipay platform in supporting China's soft diplomacy through a case study of how foreign tourists represent Chengdu's culinary culture. The formulation of the problem in these studies on the representation of culinary culture has been widely conducted in various media, but few have highlighted the role of foreign tourists as carriers of local cultural meaning, particularly on the Alipay platform. This study examines in depth how video content uploaded by foreign tourists on the Alipay platform serves as a representational space for Chengdu's culinary identity while simultaneously positioning these tourists as cultural intermediaries in cyberspace. This study uses a qualitative, descriptive-interpretive approach. This type of research is qualitative content analysis. Data from this study includes videos, captions, and comment interactions taken directly from the accounts of three creators on the Alipay platform. The study's findings demonstrate that foreign tourists' use of the Alipay platform goes beyond facilitating transactions and has transformed into a significant tool for grassroots diplomacy. This study finds that the Alipay platform functions as a strategic medium in China's soft diplomacy by mediating the representation of Chengdu's culinary culture through video content from foreign tourists

Abstract

Accent anxiety can hinder English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students’ public speaking performance, particularly when learners anticipate negative judgment, social exclusion, or reduced intelligibility. This study compared accent anxiety across three speaking contexts, face-to-face, online, and virtual, among 183 undergraduates from three universities in Makassar, Indonesia. Using a quantitative between-subjects design, participants were randomly assigned to one context and completed an oral reading task followed by the Accent Anxiety Scale (AAS). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses supported the three-dimensional structure of the scale, consisting of fear of negative evaluation, fear of intergroup rejection, and intelligibility concerns. Reliability coefficients for the total scale and subscales were satisfactory. One-way ANOVA showed a significant difference in anxiety across contexts, with the highest mean in the face-to-face group and the lowest mean in the virtual group. Tukey post-hoc comparisons indicated significant differences among all three groups. These findings suggest that delivery context shapes how accent anxiety is experienced and that virtual practice environments may provide a useful preparatory stage before live presentations. For pronunciation and public speaking courses, a staged sequence from virtual rehearsal to online and face-to-face performance may help reduce anxiety while maintaining communicative practice
