Cíle předmětu
The aim of the course is to provide basic understanding of the practices of intercultural communication from a broad linguistic perspective. The course will address problems of communication in professional (work-related/business) contexts, as well as less formal interpersonal interactions (romance, international travel). We will discuss the relevant phenomena from the points of view of the face/politeness theory and the theory of cultural scripts, probing the different cultural worldviews that various communities have on the basis of on their different languages.
Výstupy z učení
After passing this course, students will be able to:
- identify some of the typical problems in intercultural communication and understand their causes;
- describe the causes of miscommunication using relevant theoretical frameworks;
- overcome some of these problems or suggest solutions for dealing with them.
