跨文化交际中的主要障碍及对策
(只要英文标题,单独一页)
摘要(居中)
随着经济全球化的日益发展,中国与外界的交往日趋频繁。
然而,不同国家和民族有着不同的语言和文化,人们更关注的是语言的不同,往往忽视了交际中的文化差异。
跨文化交际中出现的种种问题不但会直接影响交际的顺利进行,甚至会产生误解和敌意,产生灾难性的的结果。
因此,总结跨文化交际中的种种障碍,分析障碍产生的原因,以及研究如何有效地客服交际障碍的策略,这不仅仅是需要中国的外语教育工作者不断研究和探索,更需要全社会的共同参与和关注,毕竟跨文化交际对促进国家和地区间的社会、经济、文化的交流具有极为重要的现实意义。
本文从跨文化交际的内涵和意义入手,分析和探讨了跨文化交际中存在的主要障碍,并通过对跨文化交际实例,特别是日常用语的分析,阐述了障碍产生的原因和消极影响,最后提出了如何克服这些障碍,实现有效的跨文化沟通的基本策略。
通过掌握这些策略,可以逐步提高我们的跨文化意识,成功地进行跨文化交际。

1.2.1.DefinitionofCulture
TherearemorethanonehundreddefinitionsoftheEnglishwordcultureofferedbyresearchersfromdifferentperspectives.SamovarandPorterevolvedadefinitionfromtheperspectiveofinterculturalcommunication:
Cultureisthedepositofknowledge,experience,beliefs,values,attitudes,meanings,hierarchies,religion,notionoftime,roles,spatialrelations,conceptsoftheuniverse,andmaterialobjectsandpossessionsacquiredbyagroupofpeopleinthecourseofgenerationsthroughindividualandgroupstriving(SamovarandPorter1991).

1.2.2.ComponentsofCulture
Inspiteofthelackofagreementononedefinitiononculture,mostscholars,Chineseandforeign,seemtoagreethatcultureincludesthreemajoraspects.AlmaneyandAlwansubmittedthreecategoriesofcultureelements:
Culturesmaybeclassifiedbythreelargecategoriesofelements:
artifacts(whichincludeitemsrangingfromarrowheadstohydrogenbombs,magiccharmstoantibiotic,torchestoelectriclights,andchariotstojetplanes);
concepts(whichincludesuchbeliefsorvaluesystemsasrightorwrong,Godandman,ethics,andthegeneralmeaningoflife);
andbehaviors(whichrefertotheactualpracticeofconceptsorbeliefs)(RogersandSteinfatt1999).
