The main goal of this paper is to connect perlocutionary act with sociocultural factor in Japan. It is well known that Japanese often use indirect expressions and mind to mind communication strategies (Ishin-Denshin). These methods of communication are called perlocutionary act in the speech-act theory. The followings are the conclusions: (1) perlocutionary act relates to face-threatening act shown in the theory of politeness (P. Brown & S. Levinson, 1987). It is considered that perlocutionary act happens when a Japanese feels strongly face threatened. (2) small-collectivism (C. Nakane) in Japanese society influences perlocutionary act. According to Nakane, the Japanese people are characterized by closed-minded and having competitive spirit. These traits are reflected in face threatening act. (3) the awareness of the Japanese people of face-threatening acts can be attributed to the weak concept of"self"in Japanese society. The Japanese concept of"self"is more of being a member of a social group, rather than"self"as an individual. This strong concept of"self"as a member of a larger group gives rise to strong tension in Japanese way of communication.
