Most researchers have adopted the view that culture does indeed have a role to play in language behavior. Specifically, it has been established that the speaker's intended meaning, mediated by linguistic symbols, may be interpreted or misinterpreted in cross-cultural contexts as the result of each interactants' own cultural norms of interpretation (Locastro, 2006). This paper focuses on how culture can be treated as an explanatory variable in cross-cultural pragmatic studies. It starts with a review of pragmatic studies and politeness across cultures. It then presents perspectives on the impact of culture on language use. It gives a brief survey of politeness strategies in social interaction across cultures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
