FRN373: French Language and Cultural Values |
One of the main hypotheses in the study of cross-cultural communication is that in different language communities people speak differently. These differences reflect different hierarchies of cultural values. The aim of this unit (taught in French) is to illustrate, through the medium of French, how linguistic evidence can be used to corroborate putative cultural values and how the study of selected phrases, communicative norms, key words and syntactic structures can lead the language learner to either the discovery or a more subtle understanding of language-specific cultural values.
