In total, communication can be divided into two parts; they are verbal communication and non-verbal communication. However, different people hold different opinions about communication. In general, if there is communication, there must have 4 cases: there are at least two or more people, some contact between communicators, a language shared by communicators, an exchange of information has taken place.

跨文化交际概论-课程各章节内容要点整理

第一章跨文化语言交际概述 第一节文化、语言和交际 一、关于文化的概念 （一）文化的内涵和特性 1、关于文化的内涵 概括地讲，文化即是人们所思、所言（言语和非言语）、所为、所觉的总和。在不同的生态或自然环境下，不同的民族创造了自己特有的文化，也被自己的文化所塑造。交际即文化，文化即交际，如果没有交际，文化是难以形成的。科学的提法是：“文化是冻结了的人际交流，而交际是流动着的文化。” 2、关于文化的特性 （1）文化由人们的内稳和外显的行为组成。 （2）文化是通过符号被人们习得和传授的知识。 （3）文化是群体行为规则的集合。 （4）文化与社会是潜在现实中两种类型或两个层面上的概念。 （5）文化是历史所衍生及选择的传统观念。 （6）文化和交际具有同一性。 （7）文化是动态多变的。 （8）文化具有选择性。 （9）文化是群体或民族中心主义的意识产物。 （10）文化是个非常复杂的系统。 （二）文化定势、群体文化、亚文化 1、文化定势和群体文化 世界上大多数社会中都可能存在着若干群体或社团，这些群体或社团对地域、历史、生活方式、世界观，以及价值观等方面的共享，使其成员形成并发展和强化了自己独特的文化和与其相关的交际文化。存在两种不同类型的文化范畴：一是全民族的文化，即整体的文化形象，二是具体的个性文化，即是按个人的社会情况或个人所属文化群体为基础的文化，有的学者把这种文化称之为群体文化或副文化。 2、亚文化与亚群体 在跨文化交际研究中，对文化分类的一种较为传统的做法是把文化分成主流文化和亚文化。亚文化是指存在于某一主流文化之中的一种非主流文化，某一少数群体的文化，这一文化中的行为模式区别于主流文化的行为模式。 二、关于语言的概念 （一）语言是交际工具 1、交际媒介 言语交际是人类社会中必需的另一种交换活动，交换的是信息、思想、情感。语言就是一个符号系统，一个人脑子里贮存了符号和符号的组合规则，他就可以和别人交际，传情达意，沟通信息。 2、符号功能 符号是用某种能感知的形式来代表某种事物或现象的结合体。符号由两个要素构成：一个是形式，必须是人们可感知的途径，如听觉、视觉、嗅觉、触觉等等；另一个是意义，即这个形式所代表的事物或现象。形式和意义结合，就成了“符号”。人类语言是一种有声语言，用声音形式来表示意义，通过听觉途径来感知和理解话语。 （二）语言是思维工具 “思维”和“思想”不完全相同：思维是人们认识现实世界的过程；而思想是人们对现实世

跨文化交际英文案例

Case 1 Girl-ness As a visiting professor in an American university, Zhang Hua was invited to give a lecture to a group of American students. He talked about university students in China. During the question-and-answer period after the lecture, one female student asked a question that surprised Zhang Hua. “When you talked about female students, you referred to them as girls. Why?” “Because they are girls. That’s what they are called,” Zhang Hua tried to answer, but he knew he did not really understand the intent of the question. “ I don’t quite understand your question, I’m afraid.” “In the States, we call ourselves ‘ women’ if we’re old enough to go to the university. Calling us ‘girls’ is insulting.” Do Chinese female college students prefer to be called women? Case 2 Many years ago, a Chinese man showed a photo of his wife to some American visitors. Out of courtesy, they all said,” She is very beautiful.” Also out of courtesy, the man replied with what he would have done in Chinese under the circumstance,” Where! Where!” Quite taken aback, nobody said anything for a moment, until the most ingenious one among the visitors, taking another look at the photo, said, “Oh, everywhere!” What did the Chinese intend to mean by replying with “ Where! Where!”? Case 1 Girl-ness As a visiting professor in an American university, Zhang Hua was invited to give a

谈话的气氛很好，可是慢慢地Mark发现，这位女士正在慢慢地后退。她看上去明显很不安。正当Mark想跟她谈论一下澳洲人的风俗时，一位不远处的男士看了那位女士一眼，她如释重负地走过去开始和那位男士聊起来，留下Mark一个人疑惑地站在那里。

跨文化交际概论

跨文化交际概论 第一章跨文化交际概述 第一节文化、交际和语言 （一）文化的定义 1.文化 “文化”这个词古已有之，但它的含义与现代的理解不一样，指与“武力”相对的文德教化。如汉代刘向《说苑指武》中说：“圣人之治天下也，先文德而后武力。凡武之兴，为不服也；文化不改，然后加诛。夫下愚不移，纯德之所不能化，而后武力加焉。”又如晋代束广微《补亡诗由仪》：“文化内辑，武功外悠。”《文选》李善注：“言以文化辑和于内，用武德加以外远也。”后来“文化”一词被日语借入，到近代又被日语用来作为英语culture的对译词。再后来“文化“作为日语借词又被现代汉语吸收，于是“文化”就同英语的culture有了直接的词源关系，并衍生出“文明”、“教育”等含义。文化属于人类创造的精神财富和物质财富，人性具有的共性就使得人们能共享这些财富。然而正如孔子所说的“性相近，习相远”，人性固然相通，但“习相远”导致了文化的差异。因此，克服文化差异所产生的障碍就显得很重要，这意味着在达到有效交际之前，我们必须了解别人的文化。 在文化学或文化人类学中，“文化”一词通常指人类社会区别于其他动物的全部活动方式以及活动的产品。就这一概念的核心内涵而言，它的意义是明确的，然而在实际研究中，专家们给的定义却五花八门。美国人类学家克鲁伯曾搜罗并列举了西方近现代160多位学者对“文化”所下的不同定义，并从下定义的方法角度进行了分类和研究。在众多的关于文化的定义中，文化人类学家泰勒和马林索夫斯基两人的定义比较受人推崇。泰勒认为“文化”是一个符合的整体，包括知识、信仰、艺术、道德、法律、风俗，以及人类在社会里所获得的一切能力与习惯；马林诺夫斯基把文化看作一种具有满足人类某种生存需要的功能的“社会制度”，是“一群利用物质工具而固定生活于某一环境中的人们所推行的一套有组织的风俗与活动的体系。”前者着眼于文化的整合性和精神性，后者着眼于文化的功能性和制度性。 着眼于跨文化交际的研究，另外两位学者关于文化的定义或许更准确，更直接。社会语言学家戈德朗夫指出，文化是“由人们为了使自己的活动方式被社会的其他成员所接受，所必须知晓和相信的一切组成。作为人们不得不学习的一种有别于生物遗传的东西，文化必须由学习的终端产品“知识”组成。本尼迪克特认为，文化是“通过某个民族的活动而表现出来的一种思维和行动方式，一种使这个民族不同于其他任何民族的方式”。这两个定义都强调了文化的民族性，前者突出了民族内部的规范，后者突出了民族之间的差异。概括地将，文化就是人们所觉、所思、所言、所为的总和，在不同的生态环境下，不同的民族创造了自己特有的文化，也被自己的文化所塑造。 一般认为，“文化”作为一个专门概念，可以有狭义和广义两种理解。狭义的理解着眼于精神方面，指社会的意识形态，风俗习惯，语用规范以及与之相适应的社会制度和社会组织。但是，精神或意识并不可能脱离人类物质生产的社会实践凭空产生或独立存在，而是在人类改造自然的社会实践中产生出来的。在这一社会实践中，人类既创造了物质财富，改善了自身赖以生存的客观物质条件，也创造了精神财富，形成了人类独有的意识形态，思维能力和生活方式，使自身摆脱了“自然人”状态并获得了不断进步。在使人类生活超脱动物性并区别于动物生存的一切因素中，精神方面和物质方面始终纠结为一体，互为因果，密不可

Analysis of Deferent V iews on “Filial P iety” Between China and American from Movie Guasha Abstract:“While one’s parents are alive, one should not travel to distant places.”“The gentleman works hard on the basic principles, thereafter comes morality; filial piety is the basic principle of a human being.”These are our Chinese traditional filial piety. But are these standards or rules suitable for every nation? The movie Guasha shows us many about the differences of filial piety between China and American. There are many misunderstanding and coincidence in this movie and those are the cause of the circuitous of the characters’fate. All of these are rooted in the cultural differences between China and American. In this assay, I made the differences of filial piety as the point of entry to analyze the reason why the differences come and their similarity. Key words: Guasha, the culture in china and America, piety, filial piety, object The movie Guasha tells a story that a Chinese couple who lived in American for 8 years took the hero’s father in American after they think they had realized their American dream. But a few days later, their son got ill; the old father used Guasha to treat the little boy for he didn’t know how to read English. The bruises were noticed by the child welfare bureau, and all the rough broke out after that. Finally, they had a universal satisfactory ending. The end of the story is to the satisfaction of all, but a variety of cultural conflict is the apparent. What we see is the initial irreconcilable to accept, understand. Many people will think that Chinese and Western have cultural differences, I think so, but I also think that behind these differences, there are many similarities. The following, I will be on the film to talk something about filial piety plot makes concrete analysis, and explore how cultural differences reflected in the filial piety? Why is it? What are the similarities? But before that, we will first do a general understanding of filial piety. In the ancient clan and tribal society, meaning of "filial piety" is very wide. It refers to the family of the elder respect, love, support and sacrifice. With the family as the basic unit of society and social development in a long time, "filial piety" changes from the family elder respect to parental care, and become an important ethical rule to do with family relations. Today, "filial piety" to living gets more attention. We often say that the parents contribute to our
