跨文化交际定义形式及涉及的因素.pptVIP

in the United States, England, and Sweden to mean that the person is hoping for good luck. But in Greece and Turkey it means the breaking of a friendship, and in parts of Italy it means “O.K.”. normally used when two people talk privately about a third person, meaning that person is crazy, often in a joking way. I have no idea.I don’t know. I can’t / didn’t hear you.” That’s enough. It’s all over for me. “thumbs down” sign indicates “rejection” or “refusal”, “defeat” or “no good” or “bad news” to Americans. 3.4 Contextural elements 语境因素 The context of the communication event is influenced by culture. Three contexts: business, education, health care settings Example: In many cultures, such as United States, students learn through group activity. They can talk what they think. But in DPRK, students prefer to remain silent rather than offer a mistaken answer that would insult the teacher and embarrass the student. Case Study An American woman received a letter from a recently married Japanese friend. The Japanese woman wrote in her letter: “My husband is not very handsome. Your husband is much more handsome than mine.” The American woman was very surprised at what her friend wrote. Discussion Why do you think the American was surprised? a) The American woman saw a picture of her friend’s husband and thought that he was very handsome. b) The American woman didn’t think her own husband was handsome. c) In the U.S., it is disrespectful to say that one’s husband is not handsome. A statement like this about one’s spouse in the U.S. would be considered very disrespectful. If an American woman said this about her husband, people might think that they didn’t have a good relationship. The End Thank you THANK YOU SUCCESS * * 可编辑 可编辑 可编辑 Intercultural Communication 1.
