In this paper, the generational difference on the discourse deployment method of Japanese language was studied by analyzing the appearance tendency of discourse markers. As a result, it was found that there is a generational difference in the discourse marker``s appearance tendency. Discourse markers were more used by the elder generation than the younger generation. In other words, elder generation people have a tendency of trying to make the communication easier by actively appealing to others using many discourse markers. However, this tendency was less for younger generation people. (Chungnam University)
