Source发送信息的人The source is the person with an idea he or she desires to communicate.12.Encoding编码Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately), humans are not able to share thoughts directly.

The receiver is actively involved in the communication process by assigning meaning to the symbols received.18.Receiver response反馈The receiver is the person who attends to the message. Receiver response refers to anything the receiver does after having attended to and decoded the message.19.Feedback反馈Feedback refers to that portion of the receiver response of which the source has knowledge and to which the source attends and assigns meaning. 20.Context语境The final component of communication is context. Generally, context can be defined as the environment in which the communication takes place and which helps define the communication.精讲案例Case 1 (p.1) case 2 (p.2)思考题1、what are the four trends that lead to the development of the global villageP8-9+简要说明convenient transportation systemsinnovative communication systemseconomic globalizationwidespread migrations2.What are the three ingredients of culture?Artifacts(the material and spiritual products people produce)Behavior(what they do)Concept(what they think)3.How to understand cultural iceberg?

They have a being-and-becoming attitude towards activity and think that man should keep an inner peace as nothing is eternal.

Culture: Culture is the total accumulation of beliefs, customs, values, behaviors, institutions and communication patterns that are shared, learned and passed down through the generations in an identifiable group of people.Objective Culture: history, religion, literature, language, food, etiquette, law, and customs.Subjective Culture: feelings and attitudes about how things are and how they should be –the concept of time, spaces, friendship, love, family, communication pattern, etc.Characteristics:Learned, transmitted from generation to generation, based on symbols, dynamic, ethnocentric.Doing Culture: It is meant to be a contrast to learning “about” culture underscores the idea that communicating across cultures is a process of making meaning, of people understanding one another so they can get to know one another, build relationships, and solve problems together. It should not be words on paper, but ideas in practice.Communication: Human communication is the process through which individuals –in relationships, groups, organizations and societies –respond to and create messages to adapt to the environment and one another.Characteristics: Dynamic and interactiveIntercultural Communication: Generally speaking, it refers to interaction between people from different cultural backgrounds, such as interactions between people from America and China, between whites and African Americans, between Hispanic and Japanese AmericansThe form of Intercultural Communicationa. Interracial communication –people from different racesb. Interethnic communications –the parties are of the same race but of different ethnic origins.c. Intercultural communication –communication between members of the sameculture, in which one or both of the participants hold dual or multiple memberships.(gay, disabled, Mexican American, African American, or female)Communication Competence (ICC competence)The cognitive component –how much one know about communication.The affective component –one’s motivation to approach or avoid communication The behavior component –the skills one has to interact competently. Perception: Perception is a cognitive process in which we attach meaning to objects, symbols, people and behavior in order to make sense of them.Pattern of Thought: The way people in a culture think influences the way they interpret strangers’ messages.World views: The grid (decentralized. This pattern does not have a fixed center) The radiating star (highly centralized. In this pattern important things are at the center and everything else radiates out from the center)The inside/ outside pattern (圈子)female maleprivate publichome market, mosque, coffee housethe outside is plain, not welcoming, even forbidding. The walls are thick to protect what is inside.highly centralized pattern: important people sit in the front middle;decentralized pattern: people sit equally.Stereotyping: People generalize to make sense of his experience. The result of the process of over generalizing based on limited or inaccurate information.The classification of stereotypes1. Negative stereotype of other cultures: Prejudice (severe prejudice)2. Positive stereotype of one’s own culture: Cultural superiority Characteristics: universal, unavoidable, stable, variable, ethnocentrismHigh context communication & Low context communicationHC culture (察言观色): Relies mainly on the physical context or the relationship for information, with little explicitly encoded.LC culture: provide most of the information in the explicit code itself.Perception: Perception is a cognitive process in which we attach meaning to objects, symbols, people and behavior in order to make sense of them.High contact and low contact culture:In high contact cultures people want to get close enough to one another and to objects to sense them in these ways.People in these countries stand closer, touch more, engage in more eye contact and speak more loudly than people do in lower-contact cultures.In a low contact cultures, people rely more on sight, and especially sight at a far distance. People are most likely to stand a certain distance away to get the whole picture, without actually feeling or sensing the other person’s body heat or subtle smell. So in low contact culture as America, one is taught not to breathe on people.However, this visual space seems unfriendly and indifferent to those from high contact cultures, which favor tactile space.When a person from a high contact culture goes to a low contact culture, he or she is likely to feel that people are cold, lack human warmth, and are indifferent and pay no attention to them.low-contact: Asia ; moderate-contact: Australia, Northern Europe, United States high-contact: South America, Mediterranean, the Arab worldLarge and smell Power Distancespower distance is an attempt to measure cultural attitudes about inequality insocial relationships.In high power distance cultures, position in a hierarchy is considered to benatural and important. People are expected to show only positive emotions toothers with high status and to display negative emotions to those with low status;tend to decrease gaze in the presence of powerful people.Low Power Distance Culture: Minimize and eliminate the differences in power and status; more emotional display, increase the amount of gaze. People believe that the differences in power between boss and workers should be reduced and not mphasized.Individualism VS CollectivismThe individualism index measures the extent to which the interests of the individual are considered to be more important than the interests of the group. People from individualist cultures are more likely to act on principles that apply to everyone, principles that are universal and apply to associates and strangers alike. Collectivists are not unprincipled, but when making decisions they tend to give a higher priority to relationships than individualists do. They expect people who are involved in a group relationship to have duties and obligations to one another. Masculinity (Toughness) VS Femininity (Tenderness)Masculinity means everyone in society embraces values that have traditionally been associated with men, that is assertiveness, competitiveness and toughness. On the feminine side of the scale we find societies in which people generally embrace values that have traditionally been labeled as feminine, that is modesty, cooperation and tenderness.Strong and weak Uncertainty AvoidanceThe Uncertainty Avoidance Index seeks to measure the extent to which people in a particular society are able to tolerate the unknowns of life. In high uncertainty avoidance countries people experience more stress and a sense of urgency as they go through their daily routines. Relationships are guided by strict rules. People from low uncertainly avoidance countries do not have a strong need to control things, people, and events by clearly defining and categorizing them. Relationships are guided by strict rules.Intercultural CommunicationIntercultural CommunicationGenerally speaking, it refers to interaction between people from different cultural backgrounds, such as interactions between people from America and China, between whites and African Americans, between Hispanic and Japanese Americans The form of Intercultural Communicationa. Interracial communication –people from different racesb. Interethnic communications –the parties are of the same race but of different ethnic origins.c. Intracultural communication –communication between members of the sameculture, in which one or both of the participants hold dual or multiple memberships.(gay, disabled, Mexican American, African American, or female)Language&CulturePeople pay attention to basic language in cross-culture communication because of the essential role these codes play in communication and they are part of object culture. The same word may stir up different associations in people under different cultural background, e.g. the word “dog”. In eastern culture, dogs are dirty, brutal and stupid. But in western culture, dogs are lovely, loyal and obedient. They are faithful friends and compassionate animals.Language reflects culture. Language expresses cultural reality, reflects the people’s attitudes, beliefs, world outlooks, etc. For example, American businessmen often encode their meanings in metaphors and images from these sports.Chinese traditional sport culture emphasizes the harmony between human beings and oneness between man and nature. It is morality, benevolence, entertainment and longevity. But western sports culture is competition and sportsmanship.Culture shock: Troublesome feelings such as depression, loneliness, confusion, inadequacy, hostility, frustration, and tension, caused by the loss of familiar cues from the home culture.U-Curuemodel:Excitement→Confusion→Frustration→Effectiveness→Appreciation。

(Samovar & Porter)To further understand “intercultural communication”, please read the section of “Intercultural Communication Reading” on P.2 and answer the questions:1 In the story, why does Pete could not communicate well with Chinese students?Language problemCulture problemThe way Pete handled the intercultural communication situation2 What are the major barriers in intercultural communication? Language difference.(If we understand others’ language or dialect, but not their communication rules, we can made fluent fools of ourselves.)

This is the beginning of this passage:It was a hot day. Since it was still too early to use the air-conditioner, according to the regulations of the university, every class kept its door open to make the classroom cooler. While I was lecturing on Chinese grammar in Class 4, waves of laughter came from the neighboring Class 5. A German student named Stephen raised his hand and stood up. “The laughter from Class 5 is bothering us. I think we should go to their class to protest,” he said….1 How many different solutions did Class 4 propose?2 what is the mode of communication favored by Asians?

Work in groups and write down 5 ways to deal with the situation. Some likely interpretationsThe taxi driver is trying to cheat Lee.extra charges for luggage that Lee doesn’t know about.Extra charges for tolls that Lee doesn’t know.There is an honest misunderstanding.L ee misunderstood what the driver said, or didn’t hear what he said clearly.The driver has included a tip for himself –an unreasonably large one. Culture NoteTaxi charges: in taxis in the us, it is quite normal to have a small extra charge for each of luggage. In the us there are also sometimes tolls for bridges, tunnels and certain roads. and the taxi driver will pay these first and then add them to the cost of the ride.Tipping: in the us it is normal to add a tip of 10%-15% to the cost of a taxi ride. (tipping is not normal in fast-food restaurants where customs gettheir own food.Taxis in the Us: while taxis can often be found at Us airports, taxis are rare in all but the largest American cities, and to get a taxi people often need to call a taxi company. This is because most Americans drive their cars. (in large cities, taxi drivers are often immigrants form other countries who do not speak English as their first language.)Classroom activity 2Read Letter to Fran: Not Eating and answer the following questions.1.

跨文化交际 知识点整理

跨文化交际 知识点整理

第一章.跨文化交际概论1跨文化交际汉语国际教育本质上是一种跨文化的活动。

新世纪如此广泛而深入的跨文化交际主要是受到以下因素的影响1.交通和通信技术的发展2.经济的全球化3.人口的流动4.广泛的国际交流与合作什么是跨文化交际?跨文化交际既是一种人类的社会活动,也是指一门研究跨文化交际活动的学科。

根据几个定义归纳出跨文化交际的重要特点:1.跨文化交际是不同文化背景的人们之间的交流;2.跨文化交际是通过象征符号来实现的;3.跨文化交际是一种动态的过程4.跨文化交际是一种双向的互动;5.跨文化交际的目标是创建共享的意义跨文化交际是不同文化背景的人们之间的交际,这里的跨文化交际实际上包含着两个层面一个层面是指不同国家和不同民族的人们之间的交际,例如中国人与美国人等另一个层面是指同一个国家或民族中,不同性别、年龄、职业、地域的人们之间的交际,例如男性和女性之间的交往就可以被看做是一种跨文化的交往跨文化交际的特点1.跨文化交际主要指人与人之间面对面的交流面对面的交流既包括了语言交际也包括了非语言交际,而且是一种双向交流和互动的过程2.跨文化交际中涉及很多差异性(陈国明)差异可以是文化传统、价值观、信仰等方面的差异,也涉及行为方式和习俗方面,如手势、衣着、语言使用的差异,同时也涉及个人文化身份和社会角色方面的差异。

这些存在差异的因素相互作用,影响了跨文化交流的过程和结果3.跨文化交际容易引起冲突由于语言、交际风格、非语言行为、思维模式、社会准则、价值观等方面的差异,跨文化交际很容易产生误解和冲突4.跨文化交际的误解和冲突大多属于“善意的冲突”许多冲突往往不是出于人们恶意的动机,而是来源于人们良好的愿望。

在自己文化中得体而礼貌的行为到了另一种文化中却成了无礼的举动,善良的意图却产生了意想不到的误解和不愉快5.跨文化交际常常引起情感上的强烈反应很容易造成心理紧张,人们经常提到的“文化休克”就是形容在跨文化交际中产生的心理反应。

跨文化交际核心典型负语言高语境(汉语)和低语境(英语等其他语言)对语言环境依赖性强跨文化交际重要性跨文化意义什么是跨文化交际:具有不同文化背景的人从事交际的过程就是跨文化交际。

LSHarms认为世界范围内的交际经历了五个阶段:语言的产生,文字的使用,印刷术的发明,近百年来交通工具的进步和通讯手段的迅速发展,跨文化交际。

他认为,本阶段的交际以跨文化交际为主要特征,是第五个阶段,其重要性堪比语言的产生。

什么是主流文化:什么是亚文化:跨文化交际研究中应该把眼光首先集中于国别研究,集中于一个国家中的主流文化研究。

跨文化交际学首先在美国兴起,其原因有:一、美国是一个移民国家;二、各民族争取权力的斗争,是美国形成了多元文化的格局;三、美国与各国频繁交往,国际交流密集,对大批留学生和移民的训练也是跨文化交际中的一个重要课题。

跨文化交际发展:《无声的语言》Edward Hall,1959,被看作是跨文化交际学的奠基之作。

1970,国际传播学会承认跨文化交际学是传播学的一个分支,具有重要的学术领域意义。

随后大学中纷纷开设此系。

1972,第一届跨文化交际学会国际会议在日本东京举行。

1974,跨文化教育训练和研究学会在美国马里兰州召开首届会议,宣布成立,这是跨文化交际学方面最具影响力的一个组织。

70年代中期,美国已近更有两百多所大学开设跨文化交际课程,并设有硕士和博士学位。

跨文化交际的内容:语言交际,非语言交际,社会行为准则,社会关系,思想观念(人生观价值观),心理因素。

文化的特性:文化是人类独有的,是区别人类和动物的主要标志,文化是社会遗产而不是生理遗传。

文化不是先天所有,而是后天习得。

一个人具有什么文化不取决于他的种族,而取决于他生活的文化环境文化中的大部分是不自觉的,存在于人的潜意识中文化是人们行动的指南,支配着人的行动文化是动态的,文化的形态与一定的历史时期相联系,具有相对的稳定性,但是随历史时期不断变化。

传播的种类:人类传播和非人类传播;人类传播中又有社会传播和非社会传播,非社会传播指向内传播(自我传播),社会传播包括人际传播、组织传播与大众传播。

Culture: Culture is the total accumulation of beliefs, customs, values, behaviors, institutions and communication patterns that are shared, learned and passed down through the generations in an identifiable group of people.Objective Culture: history, religion, literature, language, food, etiquette, law, and customs.Subjective Culture: feelings and attitudes about how things are and how they should be –the concept of time, spaces, friendship, love, family, communication pattern, etc.Characteristics:Learned, transmitted from generation to generation, based on symbols, dynamic, ethnocentric.Doing Culture: It is meant to be a contrast to learning “about〞culture underscores the idea that communicating across cultures is a process of making meaning, of people understanding one another so they can get to know one another, build relationships, and solve problems together. It should not be words on paper, but ideas in practice.Communication:Human communication is the process through which individuals –in relationships, groups, organizations and societies –respond to and create messages to adapt to the environment and one another.Characteristics: Dynamic and interactiveIntercultural Communication: Generally speaking, it refers to interaction between people from different cultural backgrounds,such as interactions between people from America and China, between whites and African Americans, between Hispanic and Japanese AmericansThe form of Intercultural Communicationa. Interracial communication –people from different racesb. Interethnic communications –the parties are of the same race but of different ethnic origins.c. Intercultural communication –communication between members of the sameculture, in which one or both of the participants hold dual or multiple memberships.〔gay, disabled, Mexican American, African American, or female〕Communication Competence (ICC competence)The cognitive component –how much one know about communication.The affective component –one’s motivation to approach or avoid communication The behavior component –the skills one has to interact competently. Perception: Perception is a cognitive process in which we attach meaning to objects, symbols, people and behavior in order to make sense of them.Pattern of Thought:The way people in a culture think influences the way they interpret strangers’ messages.World views: The grid (decentralized. This pattern does not have a fixed center) The radiating star (highly centralized. In this pattern important things are at the center and everything else radiates out from the center)The inside/ outside pattern (圈子)female maleprivate publichome market, mosque, coffee housethe outside is plain, not welcoming, even forbidding. The walls are thick to protect what is inside.highly centralized pattern: important people sit in the front middle;decentralized pattern: people sit equally.Stereotyping:People generalize to make sense of his experience. The result of the process of over generalizing based on limited or inaccurate information.The classification of stereotypes1. Negative stereotype of other cultures: Prejudice (severe prejudice)2. Positive stereotype of one’s own culture: Cultural superiority Characteristics: universal, unavoidable, stable, variable, ethnocentrismHigh context communication & Low context communicationHC culture (察言观色): Relies mainly on the physical context or the relationship for information, with little explicitly encoded.LC culture: provide most of the information in the explicit code itself.Perception: Perception is a cognitive process in which we attach meaning to objects, symbols, people and behavior in order to make sense of them.High contact and low contact culture:In high contact cultures people want to get close enough to one another and to objects to sense them in these ways.People in these countries stand closer, touch more, engage in more eye contact and speak more loudly than people do in lower-contact cultures.In a low contact cultures, people rely more on sight, and especially sight at a far distance. People are most likely to stand a certain distance away to get the whole picture, without actually feeling or sensing the other person’s body heat or subtle smell.So in low contact culture as America, one is taught not to breathe on people.However, this visual space seems unfriendly and indifferent to those from high contact cultures, which favor tactile space.When a person from a high contact culture goes to a low contact culture, he or she is likely to feel that people are cold, lack human warmth, and are indifferent and pay no attention to them.low-contact: Asia ; moderate-contact: Australia, Northern Europe, United States high-contact: South America, Mediterranean, the Arab worldLarge and smell Power Distancespower distance is an attempt to measure cultural attitudes about inequality insocial relationships.In high power distance cultures, position in a hierarchy is considered to benatural and important. People are expected to show only positive emotions toothers with high status and to display negative emotions to those with low status;tend to decrease gaze in the presence of powerful people.Low Power Distance Culture: Minimize and eliminate the differences in power and status; more emotional display, increase the amount of gaze. People believe that the differences in power between boss and workers should be reduced and notmphasized.Individualism VS CollectivismThe individualism index measures the extent to which the interests of the individual are considered to be more important than the interests of the group. People from individualist cultures are more likely to act on principles that apply to everyone, principles that are universal and apply to associates and strangers alike. Collectivists are not unprincipled, but when making decisions they tend to give a higher priority to relationships than individualists do. They expect people who are involved in a group relationship to have duties and obligations to one another. Masculinity (Toughness)VS Femininity (Tenderness)Masculinity means everyone in society embraces values that have traditionally been associated with men, that is assertiveness, competitiveness and toughness. On the feminine side of the scale we find societies in which people generally embrace values that have traditionally been labeled as feminine, that is modesty, cooperation and tenderness.Strong and weak Uncertainty AvoidanceThe Uncertainty Avoidance Index seeks to measure the extent to which people in a particular society are able to tolerate the unknowns of life. In high uncertainty avoidance countries people experience more stress and a sense of urgency as they go through their daily routines. Relationships are guided by strict rules. People from low uncertainly avoidance countries do not have a strong need to control things, people, and events by clearly defining and categorizing them. Relationships are guided by strict rules.Intercultural CommunicationIntercultural CommunicationGenerally speaking, it refers to interaction between people from different cultural backgrounds, such as interactions between people from America and China, between whites and African Americans, between Hispanic and Japanese Americans The form of Intercultural Communicationa. Interracial communication –people from different racesb. Interethnic communications –the parties are of the same race but of different ethnic origins.c. Intracultural communication –communication between members of the sameculture, in which one or both of the participants hold dual or multiple memberships.〔gay, disabled, Mexican American, African American, or female〕Language&CulturePeople pay attention to basic language in cross-culture communication because of the essential role these codes play in communication and they are part of object culture. The same word may stir up different associations in people under different cultural background, e.g. the word “dog〞. In eastern culture, dogs are dirty, brutal and stupid. But in western culture, dogs are lovely, loyal and obedient. They are faithful friends and compassionate animals.Language reflects culture. Language expresses cultural reality, reflects the people’s attitudes, beliefs, world outlooks, etc. For example, American businessmen often encode their meanings in metaphors and images from these sports.Chinese traditional sport culture emphasizes the harmony between human beings and oneness between man and nature. It is morality, benevolence, entertainment and longevity. But western sports culture is competition and sportsmanship.Culture shock: Troublesome feelings such as depression, loneliness, confusion, inadequacy, hostility, frustration, and tension, caused by the loss of familiar cues from the home culture.U-Curuemodel:Excitement→Confusion→Frustration→Effectiveness→Appreciation。

以下是一些跨文化交际的要点:
1. 尊重不同文化背景:在写作中,我们应该尊重不同文化背景的人,并避免使用带有歧视或偏见的语言。

2. 理解文化差异:在写作中,我们应该了解不同文化之间的差异,并在表达时考虑到这些差异。

例如,在某些文化中,直接表达意见可能被视为冒犯,而在其他文化中则被视为诚实和坦率。

3. 使用适当的语言风格:在写作中,我们应该根据读者的文化背景选择适当的语言风格。

例如,对于正式场合,我们应该使用正式的语言风格;而对于非正式场合,我们可以使用更加随意的语言风格。

4. 避免使用俚语和隐喻:在写作中,我们应该避免使用俚语和隐喻,因为这些语言形式可能会被不同文化背景的人误解或不理解。

5. 考虑读者的需求:在写作中,我们应该考虑读者的需求和文化背景,以便更好地传达信息并达到预期的效果。

This is the beginning of this passage:It was a hot day. Since it was still too early to use the air-conditioner, according to the regulations of the university, every class kept its door open to make the classroom cooler. While I was lecturing on Chinese grammar in Class 4, waves of laughter came from the neighboring Class 5. A German student named Stephen raised his hand and stood up. “The laughter from Class 5 is bothering us. I think we should go to their class to protest,” he said….1 How many different solutions did Class 4 propose?2 what is the mode of communication favored by Asians? What cultural values underlie it?Asian people are very courteous and indirect in their communications. They put great emphasis on group harmony, they are very tolerant, even when they are offended.

Extra charges for tolls that Lee doesn’t know.There is an honest misunderstanding.L ee misunderstood what the driver said, or didn’t hear whathe said clearly.The driver has included a tip for himself –an unreasonably large one.Culture NoteTaxi charges: in taxis in the us, it is quite normal to have a small extra charge for each of luggage. In the us there are also sometimes tolls for bridges, tunnels and certain roads. and the taxi driver will pay these first and then add them to the cost of the ride.Tipping: in the us it is normal to add a tip of 10%-15% to the cost of a taxi ride. (tipping is not normal in fast-food restaurants where customs get their own food.Taxis in the Us: while taxis can often be found at Us airports, taxis are rare in all but the largest American cities, and to get a taxi people often need to call a taxi company. This is because most Americans drive their cars.

跨文化交际重点(问答题及答案)

Components of communication:Communication is a dynamic, systematic process, in which meaning are created and reflected in human interaction with symbols.Characteristics of communication1.No direct mind-to-mind contact2.We can only infer3.We seek to define the worldmunication is self-reflective5.The brain is an open systemmunication has a consequence7.We are like and we are differentUnderstanding culture:People learn to think, feel, believe, and act as they do because of the messages that have been communicated to them, and those messages all bear the stamp of culture.Basic functions of culture:Culture makes “things easy” for two important reasons. First, culture helps facilitate the transition from the womb to this new life by providing meaning to events, objects, and people--thus making the world a less mysterious and frightening place. Second, culture makes life less confusing because, as we shall see later, most of culture is automatic and subconscious.In addition to making the world a less perplexing place, cultures have now evolved to the point where they are people’s primary means of satisfying three types of needs: basic needs (food,shelter, physical protection), derived needs, (organization of work, distribution of food, defense, social control), and integrative needs (psychological security, social harmony, purpose in life). Definition of culture:We define culture as the deposit of knowledge, experience, beliefs, values, actions, attitudes,meanings, hierarchies, religion, notions of time, roles, spatial relations, concepts of the universe, and artifacts acquired by a group of people in the course of generation through individual and group striving.Characteristics of culture1.Culture is learneda.We learn our culture through proverbsb.We learn our culture from folk tales, legends and mythsc.We learn our culture through artd.We learn our culture through mass media2.Culture is transmitted from generation to generation3.Culture is based on symbols4.Culture is subject to change5.Culture is integrated6.Culture is ethnocentric7.Culture is adaptiveA definition of intercultural communicationIntercultural communication is communication between people whose cultural perceptions and symbol systems are distinct enough to alter the communication event.Dominant American Cultural Patterns : Individualism, Equality, Materialism, Science and Technology, Progress and change, Work and Leisure, CompetitionDiverse Cultural Patterns:Hofsted's Value Dimensions, Based on Kluckhohn, Kluckhohn, and strodtbeck's Value Orientations, Hall’s High-Context and Low-Context CommunicationLanguage and Culture关系:We begin our preview of language by noting that it is impossible to separate our use of languagefrom our culture. language is a reflection of culture, by way of symbols and rules as well as our perceptions of the universe. Equally important is the fact meaning shifts from culture to culture. Nonverbal Communication and Culture:1.Body Behavior :(General Appearance and Dress,Body Movement: Kinesics 动作学、举止神态学,Posture,Gestures,Facial Expressions,Eye Contact and Gaze,Touch, Smell,Paralanguage )2.Space and distance:(Personal space,Seating,Furniture Arrangement)3.Time:(Informal Time, Past, Present and Future, Monochronic (M-time) and Polychronic (P-time) Classifications4.Silence: Silence cues affect interpersonal communication by providing an interval in an ongoing interaction during which the participants have time to think, check or suppress an emotion, encode a lengthy response, or inaugurate another line of thought, Silence also helps provide feedback, informing both sender and receiver about the clarity of an idea or its significance in the overall interpersonal exchange. Silence cues may be interpreted as evidence of agreement, lack of interest, injured feelings, or contempt.。

跨文化交际基础知识

跨文化交际基础知识

跨文化交际基础知识【复习指南】这部分内容主要涉及跨文化交际的基本理论及较为常见的日常交际礼仪,在选择题、填空题、判断题中所占比例较少,但与案例分析部分紧密结合;建议考生复习此块内容时,注意相关理论概念在实际案例中的运用。

考生可重点看胡文仲《跨文化交际学》或吴为善的《跨文化概论》,这两本书对于跨文化交际的基本概念、基础理论等都有全面介绍。

【知识点归纳】1.重点概念:(1)文化:culture,涉及内容十分广泛,不同研究者有不同定义。

广义文化:指人类社会实践过程中所获得的物质、精神的生产能力和创造的物质、精神财富的总和。

狭义文化:精神生产能力和精神产品,包括一切社会意识形式;自然科学、技术科学、社会意识形式。

英国人类学家泰勒1871年在《原始文化》中提到的定义影响很大。

总的来说,文化是人类社会创造的财富,包括食物、器具,也包括信念、价值观、习俗、知识。

可分为物质文化、制度文化和观念文化。

跨文化交际的总结

跨文化交际的总结

跨文化课程重点总结第一课文化、交际、跨文化交际一、跨文化交际的重要性跨文化交际的机会是由全球化引起的交通和通讯系统的发展(缩短旅游时间,电视网络,互联网,国际电影业)国家间的文化迁移(多元文化主义)新经济领域(跨国公司)不断增长的世界人口(有限的自然资源、污染、国际冲突)二、文化是什么(一)文化的定义1、《简明牛津词典》:文化是“艺术和被集体视为人类智慧成就的其他表现形式”。

2、从人类学的角度定义文化:文化是“一个特定时代或民族的风俗、文明和成就”。

3、(霍尔,1983)我们将文化定义为“信仰、习俗、价值观、行为、制度和交流方式的总和,这些都是在一个可识别的群体中被共享、学习和代代相传的。

”4、1871年爱德华·泰勒爵士的定义(第一次使用这个术语):"这个复杂的整体包括知识,信仰,艺术,道德,法律,习俗以及人类作为社会成员所获得的其他能力和习惯"5、Kroeber and Kluckhohn (1952) 克罗伯和克拉克洪。

文化由显性和隐性的模式组成,是通过符号获得和传递的行为,构成了人类群体的独特成就,包括在人工制品中的体现;文化的本质核心是由传统的(即历史的派生和选择的)思想,尤其是它们所依附的价值观所组成的;文化系统一方面可以被认为是行动的产物,另一方面可以被认为是进一步行动的制约因素。

6、Porter & Samovar 波特和萨莫瓦尔“知识、经验、信仰、价值观、态度、意义、等级、宗教、时间观念、角色、空间关系、宇宙观念、物质对象和财产的积累,这些都是一群人通过个人和群体几代人的奋斗过程中获得的。

”—《跨文化交际读本》7、文化的内容“是文学、美术、音乐、哲学、科学这一类的事。

”-陈独秀8、“文化是生活的样法。

”“文化,就是吾人生活所依靠的一切。

”-梁漱溟9、“人类在社会历史发展过程中所创造的物质和精神财富的总和,特指精神财富,如文学、艺术、教育、科学等。

跨文化交际核心

对语言环境依赖性强
跨文化交际重要性
跨文化意义
什么是跨文化交际:具有不同文化背景的人从事交际的过程就是跨文化交际。

LSHarms认为世界范围内的交际经历了五个阶段:语言的产生,文字的使用,印刷术的发明,近百年来交通工具的进步和通讯手段的迅速发展,跨文化交际。

他认为,本阶段的交际以跨文化交际为主要特征,是第五个阶段,其重要性堪比语言的产生。

什么是主流文化:
什么是亚文化:
跨文化交际研究中应该把眼光首先集中于国别研究,集中于一个国家中的主流文化研究。

跨文化交际学首先在美国兴起,其原因有:一、美国是一个移民国家;二、各民族争取权力的斗争,是美国形成了多元文化的格局;三、美国与各国频繁交往,国际交流密集,对大批留学生和移民的训练也是跨文化交际中的一个重要课题。

跨文化交际发展:
《无声的语言》Edward Hall,1959,被看作是跨文化交际学的奠基之作。

1970,国际传播学会承认跨文化交际学是传播学的一个分支,具有重要的学术领域意义。

随后大学中纷纷开设此系。

1972,第一届跨文化交际学会国际会议在日本东京举行。

1974,跨文化教育训练和研究学会在美国马里兰州召开首届会议,宣布成立,这是跨文化交际学方面最具影响力的一个组织。

70年代中期,美国已近更有两百多所大学开设跨文化交际课程,并设有硕士和博士学位。

跨文化交际的内容:语言交际,非语言交际,社会行为准则,社会关系,思想观念(人生观价值观),心理因素。

文化的特性:
文化是人类独有的,是区别人类和动物的主要标志,文化是社会遗产而不是生理遗传。

文化不是先天所有,而是后天习得。

一个人具有什么文化不取决于他的种族,而取决于他生活的文化环境
文化中的大部分是不自觉的,存在于人的潜意识中
文化是人们行动的指南,支配着人的行动
文化是动态的,文化的形态与一定的历史时期相联系,具有相对的稳定性,但是随历史时期不断变化。

传播的种类:人类传播和非人类传播;人类传播中又有社会传播和非社会传播,非社会传播指向内传播(自我传播),社会传播包括人际传播、组织传播与大众传播。

向内传播:只一个人自己脑子里在自我交流活动或是自言自语
人际传播:两个人或两个人以上的信息传受过程,还包括各种形式的人际传播。

组织传播:在学校,公司,工厂,机关,军队,党派,群众团体等内部的传播,有横向有纵向
大众传播:职业化的传播机构用机械化、电子化的技术手段向特定的多数人传送信息的行为或过程,包括杂志,广播电视等。

传播模式:Harold Lasswell提出,通常被称为5W模式,Who,Says What,in What channel,to Whom,with What effect。

即存在传者,讯息,媒介,受者,效果。

此模式简明扼要却失之简单,对于传播的社会环境和反馈没有考虑。

1949,Claude Shannon,Warren Weaver共同提出了另一个线性模式,即:
信源,发射器,(噪音源)信道,接收器,信宿,虽更细致但是并未根本解决线性模式的缺陷。

50年代,Charles Osgood,Wilbur Schramm提出循环式的模式,加入反馈这一要素。

构成循环模式。

为什么语言和文化密不可分:广义的文化包括语言,同时文化又无时无刻不在影响语言,是语言在需要的时刻更加精确和缜密。

语言即是文化的载体,又是文化的写照,如英语中的brother没有一个字与之对应,而汉语的兄妹则源于文化的长幼有序,并且十分重视亲属系别。

萨丕尔—沃尔夫假说:语言不仅反映文化的形态,而且语言结构部分地或者全部地决定人们对于世界的看法。

学者对此研究看法:语言反映而不创造价值;语言拥有众多我们尚且无法认识的共同成分;语言与社会是平等的成分,不能确定何为主。

批评:无法证明不同语言使用者对世界的观察不同;很难下结论说先有鸡还是先有蛋。

陈原:违反唯物史观,且不符合现实社会生活。

跨文化交际不仅要注意词的概念意义,更重要的是随时随地重视词的内涵意
义。

如概念意义相同,内涵意义相同或大致相同;概念意义相同,内涵意义不同;概念意义相同,一个有内涵意义,一个无。

如八,红,政治,知识分子,龙,
交际文化和风格:
交际风格:当人们连贯地表达思想时,不仅词汇反映文化背景,表达方式、说理方式、思维模式无不表现特定的某些特点。

如美国人的思维是“桥式”,他们会明白直接地把自己的意思传达给对方,犹如一座桥,读者只要从桥的这一头走到另一头即可把意思弄清楚了,日本则为垫脚石式,他们采取迂回隐含的方法,犹如在水下投下一块一块的垫脚石,使读者借助于垫脚石悟出作者的意思。

Ishii 认为这两种思维模式反映了每日不同文化,美国是“低语境”国家,一切都要靠用语言讲清,而日本是“高语境”国家,很多意思都包括在语境之中个,不需要每一点都明白无误地讲出来。

非语言交际:一切不使用语言进行的交际活动统称之为“非语言交际”,包括眼神,手势,微笑,面部表情,服装打扮,沉默,身体的接触,讲话人之间的距离,讲话的音量,时间观念,对空间的使用等等,有学者认为,在人们的直接交际活动中,30%由语言传送,70%的信息依靠非语言手段。

体态语:是非语言交际中重要组成部分,它包括眼神,手势,身势,面部表情,体距,接触等。

非语言交际还包括副语言,对时间与空间的利用,副语言又称伴随语言,包括音质,音符,音量,语速以及绘画中发出的一些非语言的声音。

非语言交际的特点与作用:
语言交际遵循语法规则,具有严谨的结构,而非语言交际却没有正式的规则和模式,没有固定的结构,因此要正确地理解非语言交际行为往往需要综合分析周围的情况才能确定。

语言交际使用特定的符号,而非语言交际却没有一套具有明确意义的符号,如三的手势在英文是很好,好的意思,在我国是三的意思,而在拉美国家则是猥亵的意思。

语言交际在讲话的时候进行,在停止讲话的时候中断,因此语言交际是时断时续的,而非语言交际则是连续不断的。

预言是后天习得的,而不是生而知之的,非语言交际的手段一部分是人类的本能,如哭笑等,另一些是后天习得,如手势,姿势,副语言手段等
最后,从神经生理学的角度看,从事语言交际与非语言交际时使用的大脑半球不同,左半球负责语言交际,右半球负责非语言交际,非语言交际通常与语言交际结合进行,在不同的情况下起着不同的作用,大致上起补充,否定,重复,调节,替代或强调的作用。

如当你接受礼物是,嘴里说如何如何喜欢,但是脸上的表情却是不愉快,也就是你的脸出卖了你的内心。

美日价值观的差异:日本沉默,不正视人眼,从而产生跨文化交际障碍,对现象加以分析。

☆中美教育教学差异分析:有哪些,及其成因,可以从教育教学角度分析中美差异。

如美国教师和学生在教室里站立和坐着的姿势太过随便,缺乏纪律,东
倒西歪,教师管教不严,而英美人参观我们的教室则认为管的太死,学生没有什么自由。

中国强调集体,纪律,合作,他们则强调个人,自由,发展自我。

个人空间和体距:
个人空间是指一个人与另一人之间所保持的空间或距离。

一般分为亲密距离,个人距离,社交距离和公众距离。

亲密距离近者可以没有距离,远者从6-18英寸。

美国中产阶级一般认为在公众场合不宜保持亲密距离,如果其他人进入了这个距离,同行间会感到很不舒服。

与情景有关的见面语,中国多
事实上,在人们的习俗中贯穿着这一民族的价值观念和待人处事的基本原则。

家庭的地位和作用(整章),对中国文化产生的影响(对比分析)
如果妻子和母亲吵了架,作为丈夫应该采取什么态度,在中国……在美国……(P150对比分析)
跨文化交际的障碍
障碍之一:认识上的误区
不同文化背景的人们在实际交际过程中最易犯的一个毛病是误以为对方和自己没什么两样。

一旦发现对方的行为与自己的预期相差很远,就会困惑,失望,造成交际的失败。

障碍之二:刻板印象
刻板印象是对于某些个人或群体的属性的一套信念。

这些属性可能是正面的,也可能是负面的。

注意:和概念形成易混淆
它妨碍我们与不同文化背景的人们相处,不利于顺利开展跨文化交际。

障碍之三:民族中心主义
所谓民族中心主义就是按照本族文化的观念和标准去理解和衡量他族文化中的一切,包括人们的行为举止、交际方式、社会风俗、管理模式以及价值观念等。

文化休克和跨文化训练
文化休克(含义)
文化休克一词系Oberg于1960年在他的一篇学术论文中首次使用。

文化休克是人们对于另一种不熟悉的文化环境的心理反应。

通俗的说,一个人从一地迁移到另一地,原来自己熟悉的一套符号、习俗、行为方式、社会关系、价值观念等被另一套新的自己不熟悉的符号、习俗、行为模式、社会关系、价值观念所替代,因而在心理上产生焦虑,在情绪上不安定,甚至沮丧。

在眼中的情况下,会产生各种心理和生理方面的疾病。

最严重的甚至会患精神病或者自杀。

这就是文化休克。
