This paper reports the results of two questionnaire studies which primarily address the issue of speech act data collection in non- Western contexts. The first employed a discourse completion test (DCT) and was initiated as a contrastive study of requests in Japanese and American English. The second used a multiple-choice questionnaire (MCQ) as a means of exploring the validity of open-ended questionnaires in non- Western contexts. Based on the results of both studies, there are reasons to suspect that DCTs may be inappropriate for collecting data on Japanese, but more research is needed to show this conclusively. These studies do make some headway, though, in addressing these two central issues of speech act research, and they help to underscore the fact that more work is needed to both extend the scope of speech act studies and refine the methodologies used in them.
