- Have you ever wondered why people of different cultures have problems understanding each other although they all speak the same language well?
- Have you ever come across as impolite even though you didn't intend to?
- Why do Brits typically think that Germans are direct and like giving orders?
- Why do so many people think that Americans are friendly and Japanese polite?This course provides a link between cultural studies and linguistics by addressing the cultural influences on communication and offers an introduction to theories of culture and identity as represented in language in use.
