The less developed teaching

5、different culture 摘要现今的中国,跨文化交际已成为多元性的活动.从语言结构、表达方式两个方面对英汉语言的差异进行分析,可以发现语言差异实为实现真正的跨文化交际沟通的基础。许多外语教师往往把注意力集中在教授语言本身, 而忽视了对与该语言相关的社会文化背景知识和跨文化交际知识及规则的传授。关键词：语言差异 跨文化交流 文化差异. IntroductionLanguage is a social phenomenon and a social communication tool. Each language is given in the specific social hist

6、ory developed. Different peoples because of geography, folklore, religion and values and so there are differences, to express the same concept of the word, in their own unique cultural traditions of the role will inevitably produce additional terms in the language itself on the different associative

7、 meaning. Therefore, each countrys national languages have a lot of the countrys only national language or the specific social history with a specific color, distinctive phenomenon. Only by understand the foreign language knowledge of the countrys cultural background, to a deep understanding of the

8、language to learn. Cross-cultural communication, the term refers both to native speakers and non-native speakers of communication between, also refers to any in the language and cultural background differences of peoples communication. That cross-cultural communication includes not only the internat

9、ional cross-cultural communication, including inter-ethnic communication, inter-ethnic communication, and belong to the same cultural background, communication between different groups, including different ages, different occupations, different social classes, different educational backgrounds such

10、as communication between people. This article explores cross-cultural communication is limited to English-native speakers and non-native communication between users.。.The reason of Differences in Cross-Culture Communication1 Language structureEnglish sentence varies depending on the verb type. The a

11、bove three examples are wrong comparison, we can see that English verbs can be divided into two categories according to function: do (action verbs) and be (verb). Action verbs as predicate, its interrogative or negative sentences the auxiliary should be used to do, and do the temporal variation. The

12、 Chinese mainly by the predicate verb is and act as adjectives. When used, the word did not change shape, is verb in addition to acting as a verb, but also can be used for particle auxiliary verb, adverbs modify verbs or as a. Adjective as a predicate, the function and structure of the English Depar

13、tment of the same table.For Example 他很累 .right: He is very tired. Wrong: He very tired.2 Morphology Whatever the language, are evolving, and the demise of new vocabulary is one of the most representative aspect. Understanding of word-building measures is an important way to understand a language. Ch

14、inese word formation mainly involves two aspects: simple words and compound words. Simple words simply referring to things, foreigner words are no exception, such as: rose, orangutan, persimmon, and tanks, chocolate. Synthesis is a structural relationship between the words, such as: thinking (combin

15、ed type), electric (side-), hard (verb-object type), earthquakes (verb type). English word-building affixes usually by means of law, synthesis, transformation method, abbreviated method composition. Usually a verb can be derived from other forms of the word. Such as from predict the word can be deri

16、ved term prediction (n), adjectives predictable, adverbs predictably, adjective predictive, adverbs predicatively. As the word form of the conversion depends on the affixes, their application is particularly active. Application of compound words is another major product of affixes, such as: motel (m

17、otel), brunch (breakfast, lunch meals combined). Main differences1. Ways of GreetingsChinese people often greeting when they meet with clothing, food, shelter, and other life necessities related to each other in order to express concern or mutual friendship or close relationship. Therefore, Chinese

18、people often greet each other between the 吃了吗? 你去哪啊? Greeting party of course not really want to know what each other does not, or whether to go to dinner where the party has been greeting will be very naturally replied: 吃了 or 没呢, 你呢? or 办点事去 or 随便走走, 你呢? and so can be very vague answers. And accord

19、ing to Western customs, not eaten when they heard people ask, they will be very natural and geographical solution to this is an invitation or an appointment, will look forward to greeting those further or more specific invitations. And where to go ah This greeting will be understood that this is a p

20、rivate matter in the inquiry they make them feel uncomfortable. In addition, according to Chinese custom, younger and older, higher and higher, between students and teachers, the former should take the initiative to say hello, to show respect. In English culture, the situation is the opposite, that

21、is, from their superiors, elders, teachers take the initiative, otherwise it is rude, because the higher, the teacher may be thinking about things, do not like disturbed. So if we use their own greeting greet with the West, people often make the mistake.2. Complirhents and AttitudesModesty is one of

22、 the traditional virtues of Chinese people. Chinese people often use to represent the humble self-denial. Consider the following dialogue: Chinese people to express praise and general reactions are as follows: A: You may be doing awesome! B: No, I do not, this is our effort. Westerners look at the f

23、ollowing expression of praise of the reaction A: You did a good job. B: T hank you very much as Westerners do not understand the habits of Chinese culture, they often can not accept Chinese-style modesty, and sometimes these will excessive modesty understood as dishonest.For example: A foreign teach

24、ers and students praised Wangs shoes look good, but Mr. Wangs answer to the very embarrassingMr. Smith: hello Wang you have a pair of beautiful shoes.Wang: thank you, my friend brought from Guangzhou, don you like it?Mr. Smith: oh, yes, they look very comfortable.Wang: well if you like them I will a

25、sk him to buy a pair for you.Mr. SmithAnther example Several Chinese students to visit one pair arrived in China a few years ago, teachers taught their American couple. In advance, which several students bought gifts, and plans to get together properly? To this American couple at home, the owner is

26、very warmly received them, also ask them to leave for lunch together. Which several students must be in accordance with Chinese custom polite about it, you do not have too much trouble? Owner believed, did not eat anything prepared for them. But the lunch time, which several students still, did not

27、take the meaning. Which makes the owner by surprise, barely scrape together a meal to make, both embarrassed.3. Forms of AddressChinese people generally call when using professional titles, such as teachers principals, the Secretary, manager, secretary, doctor, and etc. call. In English In addition

28、to the title of certain countries such as judges, Ph.D., professor of substandard, usually by their first names appear warm, natural. So some people without the Psychology into Teacher Zhang, the Director Wang translated Dean Wang, is inconsistent with the English language habits. In addition, the A

29、nglo-American countries, often to men as Mr., Called Ms. Miss (unmarried), Mrs. (Married), if the other party is unknown whether the case can be married Ms. Miss can be used to refer to women alone, and Mr., Ms, Mrs. Is usually used in conjunction with the name or surname, used in conjunction with t

30、he name alone can not. Sir and Madam, neither with the name, or used in conjunction with the name, but used alone. We see that some Hong Kong TV series in what often appear Wang Sir, Sir, etc. call bell, in fact, this is not authentic, is Chinese-style English. .ConclusionConflicts are inevitable in

31、 the process of intercultural communication. To have unpleasant feeling during conflict is universal. The effective management of intercultural conflicts requires intercultural awareness and intercultural sensitivity. There have five steps:describe the conflict in a way understand in bath cultures;

32、analyze the conflict from both cultural perspective ; identify the basis for the conflict from both cultural viewpoints ; solve the conflict through synergistic ;and determine if the solution is working intercultural. Language, culture and communication, reflect the tradition of human history, religion, customs, natural sciences and
