1、华中科技大学 硕士学位论文国内外跨文化交际研究现状调 查 -基于 2006-2009 发表的国内外 部分学术期刊论文的调查 姓名：杨健 申请学位级别：硕士 专业：外国语言学及应用 语言学 指导教师：樊葳葳胡艳红 2010-05 华 中 科 技 大 学 硕 士 学 位 论 文 摘 要 跨文化交际于 20 世纪 50 年代在美国兴起。本世纪 80 年代改革开放后，跨文化交际 由国内外语教学者引入我国。 随着 21 世纪国际交流越来 越频繁 越来越多的国内外学者对这一研究越来越重视。本 文针对国内外跨文化研究现状进行了分析研究。通过比较国 内外研究结果，研究者对于未来的研究提出了自己的观点。 本文采

2、取文献综述的方法，对 2006 年至 2009 年在国内外 期刊发表的跨文化交际的文章作了分析研究。国内的数据来 自于 10 份国内知名的外语与外语教学期刊的 136 篇文章， 国外的数据来自于 IJIR 中的 180 篇文章。 国内外跨文化交 际现状的研究主要是从研究方法和研究内容两个方面来分 析，并将国内外的研究情况进行对比。 研究结果表明，在 研究内容方面，国内学者对跨文化翻译和跨文化语用学方面 很感兴趣，而国外学者对于跨文化适应和培训十分重视。从 研究方法，我们可以发现，国外主要是实证研究，而国内主 要是非实证研究，而实证研究中，国外主要是定量研究，而 国内主要是定量和定性的混合研究。

3、 综上所述，国内外研 究有很大的区别，我国的研究在研究内容方面应该加强在跨 文化适应和培训上的研究，研究方法上应重视实证研究。而 国外研究在采取定量研究的同时，应注重定量与定性相结合， 以增强研究的信度和效度。关键词：跨文化交际 研究内容 实证研究 III 华 中 科 技 大 学 硕 士 学 位 论 文 Abstract Intercultural communication rose in the United States in the 1950s.

14、. People withdifferent cultural backgrounds communicate with each other which promote thedevelopment of intercultural communication. Intercultural communication was born in themid-twentieth century in the United States. It has close connection with the United States， which is a nation of immigrants

15、a mixing of multi-ethnic groups. With the development ofChinese reform and opening up in 1980s intercultural communication was introduced intoChina by domestic foreign language teaching scholars. As we all know ， cultural globalization has arrived. Internet information for its hugecapacity and infin

Modern transportation andcommunication technology unprecedentedly developed cross-border spread of masscommunication and interpersonal contacts are unprecedentedly frequent. Differentcountries strengthen cultural communication between each other and pro

17、mote culturaldevelopment through the intercultural communication. The communication amongmulti-cultures is the powerful driving force for the development of interculturalcommunication. Cultural globalization itself is a product of multi-cultural cooperation andcommunication and the development of cu

18、ltural globalization has further enhanced thetrend of multi-cultural cooperation and communication. Since 1980s more and moreChinese started to learn a foreign language and in the new century many countries learnChinese language which reflect the trend that enhance the multi-cultural communicationan

19、d compromise the merits of global culture and local culture. It is in this basis that thedevelopment of intercultural communication research is promoted. 1 华 中 科 技 大 学 硕 士 学 位 论 文 At present intercultural communication research in China has made greatachievements. Many scholars in different discipli

20、nes and background who use differentmethods from different perspectives to study the intercultural communication andachieved fruitful results. Many books and papers are published. Some domestic keyuniversities set up intercultural communication course in foreign language teaching. Someuniversities a

21、lso enrolled doctoral students and graduate students with interculturalcommunication research as their research focus. However to go deep into the theoreticalresearch is still an arduous task. In the era of cultural globalization many new things newareas need to be pioneered. In addition intercultur

22、al communication research methods needto be greatly improved and the research team needed strengthening. This study is attempting to find out the current trend of intercultural communication studies at home and abroad by analyzing some published intercultural articles in domestic and international j

23、ournals. By comparing the different research contents and methods existing in the field of intercultural studies in China and abroad the researcher wishes to display a whole image of domestic and international intercultural studies hoping the results of this study to give some instructive guide to f

The first part of this article briefly describes thebackground of the study gives the reason for the study and points out the significance ofthe study. The second part is literature review. It introduces the definitions some importantterms related to th

The last part makes of a summary of the study and points out the implications and 2 华 中 科 技 大学硕士 学位论文 limitations of the research and gives the suggestions and ideas to the future research. 3 华 中 科 技 大 学 硕 士 学 位 论 文 1 Literature Review This p

27、art introduces the definitions of intercultural communication interculturalcommunication research contents and researchmethods makes a review for the previousresearch and notes the previous research limitations.1.1 Definitions of intercultural communication The phenomenon of intercultural communicat

28、ion has existed since ancient time butintercultural communication is not established as a separate interdisciplinary until themid-20th century. In 1959 the American anthropologist Hall issued the Silent Language.This work first proposed the concept of intercultural communication and the publication

29、ofthis work mark the birth of intercultural communication in academic world. Since then agrowing number of scholars began engaged in intercultural communication studies. Manyinfluential intercultural communication books got published. Regarding the definition of the intercultural communication diffe

30、rent scholars putforward their own different views. Samovar and Porters point of view emphasized intercultural communication occursamong people of different cultural backgrounds. Samovar and Porter 1999:19 pointed outthat: “ Studies in intercultural communication examine what happens in intercultura

31、lcontacts and interactions when the communication process involves culturally diversepeople”. Hu W(en1z9h9o9n:2g3 gave theIntercudefinition to intercultural communication like this: communication is the process when people from variousculturalbackgrounds interacted with each other.” From Husviews we

32、 can see that interculturalcommunication is a widespread social phenomenon and cultural phenomenon it occursamong people of different cultural backgrounds. 4 华 中 科 技 大 学 硕 士 学 位 论 文 Lustig and Koester 2003:49 pointed out that: “ Intercultural communication is asymbolic process in which people from d

33、ifferent cultures create shared meanings. It occurswhen large and important cultural differences create dissimilar interpretations andexpectations about how to communicate competently. ” From Lustig and Koesters view wecan find that they emphasize on the cultural differences that occurs among people

34、 ofdifferent cultures Jandt 2004:4 indicated that:“ Intecrocmulmtuuranlication is not onlybetweenindividuals but also between groups of diverse cultural identifications.” Here Jandt stressedt-hgeromupulmti ulti-nationcharacteristics in intercultural communication. There are some different statements

35、 of intercultural communication for examplecross-cultural communication. Samovar 2000 indicated that cross-cultural communicationemphasizes on cultural comparison while intercultural communication refers to “ interaction”. Kitao 1985 pointed tha-ct uclrtousraslcommunication belongs to thecategory of

36、 interculturalcommunication. Intercultural communication and cross-culturalcommunication can refer to either-cultura“l crosscommunication activities or interculturalcommunication research which is entirely dependent on a certain context ” . As for the slightdifferences of intercultural and cross-cul

37、tural this can be ignored. As for the actual use ofthe two terms it is entirely a personal preference. However Hu Wenzhong 1994 hasmentioned that cross-cultural communication is adopted in the earlier time now more withintercultural communication. A typical example is the use of the word“ intercultu

38、ral ” in tof the two world organizations associated with intercultural communicationfrequently used the term intercultural as the following: SIETR The International Societyfor Intercultural Education Training and Research and IAICS The InternationalAssociation for Intercultural Communication Studies

39、. When Chinese scholars introduce the study of intercultural communication fromabroad the terms are various in the beginning and now has become the same. He Daokuan1983 introduced foreign intercultural communication studies to the domestic world in his 5 华 中 科 技 大 学 硕 士 学 位 论 文 article by using the

40、word“-ccurlotusrsal communication ” inthe same year he introducedanother article and mentioned thatthe term “ c-rcousltsural communication ” which is calledby Europe and the United States can also be called“ interculturalcommunication ”. Until1994 Wang ZongYan 1994 mentioned that: “ There are many counstarined peoples eachwith specific groups of a linguistic and culture. The groups members interor dialoguewith each other. That is communication between different cultures referred to asintercultural communication and was also called multi-cultural communica
