I firstly improved the limitation of previous research and conducted a cloze test to measure 30 tester’s proficiency levels of Japanese. With lower and higher groups divided by the test result, these testers were further examined by introspective interview method: what kind of context information they would use, and if there were any difficulties in the comprehension of indirect refusal, as well as conventional indirect opinions and nonconventional indirect opinions. The results showed that, in addition to linguistic input, learners were likely to use non-verbal context information, including “Speaker Intention”, “Paralinguistic Cues” and “Adjacency Pair Rule”, to comprehend indirect speech act. The biggest difficulty for learners was their limited listening ability. I found that learners with different proficiency levels differed in the use of context information and the types of difficulties of comprehending three types of indirect speech acts. On the basis of results above, this work provided some useful suggestions for promoting Japanese learners’ comprehension of indirect speech act.}, pages = {17--32}, title = {中国人日本語学習者はどのように間接発話行為を理解するのか}, volume = {3}, year = {2020} }
