Abstract
In this paper, we argued that contrastive studies can be seen not only as studies of language expressions for foreign language education, but also as a methodology for constructing linguistic typologies. As examples, we have reviewed contrastive studies of the speech acts “apology” and “gratitude” in Chinese and Japanese that are taken as the same phase in topology. Furthermore, for the purpose of linguistic typology, we have indicated that the use of pronominal pronouns in Thai and Japanese has different orientations toward positive and negative politeness, respectively, based on politeness theory. Both of the cases suggest the possibility of a methodology for constructing a linguistic typology at pragmatic level.
