Pragmatic Failures in Cross-cultural Communication

摘要

随着社会的不断进步、科技的不断发展，通讯技术也随之进一步提高，加上全球化进程的不断扩大，世界各国间的往来交流变得越来越频繁。无论是政治、贸易、还是旅行，都离不开双方的交流与合作。然而，每个国家的文化不尽相同，人们说话所遵循的社会规则也大不一样，每个文化背景下人们所形成的思维方式也不同，这无疑给跨文化交际的顺利进行带来一定的麻烦。如果不了解双方国家的文化以及价值取向，那么跨文化交际中的语用失误就难以避免。

本文主要通过对比分析汉英文化间交际时所产生的语用失误问题，采用逻辑分析的方法得出影响语用失误的诸多因素，让人们认识了解一个国家的文化以及社会约定俗成的社会规则、思维模式、价值观念对跨文化交际的重要作用，在英语教学的过程中，应该适当地强调西方国家的文化背景以及社会约定俗成的语言规则，从而减少在汉英交际中的语用失误，以尽可能达到成功交际的目的。

These factors all make the international communication between peoples from the whole world become more and more frequent. No matter in which aspect, politics, commercial or just travel, it all needs people’s communication and cooperation.

It is the same with people’s ways of thinking in every culture. There is no doubt that it will bring trouble to the cross-cultural communication. If we know little about the differences about the countries’ culture and values, pragmatic failures in cross-cultural communication will easily take place.

Meanwhile to let people realize the importance of possessing a knowledge of a country’s culture, social rules, ways of thinking as well as values to cross-cultural communication.

It can efficiently decrease the pragmatic failures in the communication between Chinese and English, which may also better achieve the goal of successful communication.
