【摘要】:本文以场理论为基本框架,从中西认知异同的角度对跨文化交际进行探讨。
全文共五章。第一章是导言,介绍了论文的探讨领域、预期目的、使用措施和篇章结构等,并对若干关键词进行了定义。第二章首先回顾了主要的交际探讨文献,随后介绍了场理论的历史、发展和组成要素,并将该理论运用到交际探讨中。作者认为,所有人际活动都可以看作是交际,西语论文,其作为一个整体系统,在内部元素的相互影响和外界因素的多重限定下运行,即构成交际场。第三章从人与交际场的角度对中西认知方式进行了详细阐述。作者提出场依存性和场独立性是中西认知方式的根本异同,并以此为基础,从对场的理解、解释、分类,控制和预测等角度展开中西认知异同的讨论。第四章是中西认知异同在跨文化交际中的具体表现。作者指出,场依存性和场独立性的不同认知方式是中西文化的根本异同,而人与交际场的关系同样适用于跨文化交际范畴。作者选择了跨文化交际的三个方面,人际关系(面子和关系),交际风格和时间观念,进行了具体的讨论、略论和阐述。第五章是结论部分。本文的基本结论是:
1.一切人际活动都可以看作是交际,而交际是一个在内部元素相互影响和外界因索多重限定下运行的系统。因此,通过场理论对其进行探讨,构建交际场,可以揭示其本质属性和多维特点,同时也有利于对交际参与者的思维方式和相应的交际行为进行探讨和研讨。
摘要
中西文化的根本异同在于不同的认知方式,即场依存性和场独
立性,其不仅是中西认知方式的核心,也是中西文化的核心,
直接决定了两种文化的诸多异同,如集体主义和个体主义,高
语境交际和低语境交际等。
场依存性和场独立性的认知异同在跨文化交际中得到了充分
体现,尤其是在人际关系、交际风格和时间观念等方面。跨文
化交际具有其复杂性和特殊性,西语专业论文,误会和冲突往往无法避免,尤
其是在以上诸方面。因此,从认知异同的角度对跨文化交际进
行略论,将有利于各方更好地理解彼此之间的误会和冲突,从
而降低其损害,进而逐步完善中西之间的跨文化交际。
