Helen   Spencer-Oatey is Professor and Director of the Centre for Applied Linguistics   at the University of Warwick, UK. Her primary research interests are in   intercultural interaction and intercultural pragmatics. She has published   extensively in these fields (e.g. Culturally Speaking, Continuum, 2000/2008;   Intercultural Interaction, with Peter Franklin, Palgrave, 2009) and she has   developed extensive resources for practitioners, many of which are freely available   via the University of Warwick’s Global PAD website.

主要内容

Managing   relations is an important aspect of all interaction, but it can be especially   challenging in intercultural interaction. In this talk, I use an authentic   example of an ‘intercultural ‘incident’ involving Chinese and American   professionals to explore three main issues:

1.How can ‘politeness’ be   conceptualised?

2.How can ‘culture’ be   conceptualised?

3.How can these frameworks   help us understand and interpret the ‘intercultural incident’?
