研究经费丰厚,研究者百家争鸣,成果
累累,缺少清晰的理论。
80年代:成熟/平稳时期
重视theory building & methodological refinement

Research

三大特点:1. 借鉴现成的交际学理论,如建构理
论、意义协调构筑理论、趋同理论、网络理论。
2.在人际交往的层面上观察、解释、归纳、总结。
90年代:批评/反思时期
陈国明和Starosta (1998)说,90年代初
有了一个很幸运的转向,即学者开始
怀疑定量研究,而重新认识修辞学、
符号学、语言学和民俗学等研究传统
的价值,但多采用定量和定性相结合
的方法进行研究。
Starosta 和陈国明(2003)合编《跨文
化研究领域中的骚动》,说跨文化交
际学研究正发生着批评转向。
论文《跨文化交际学
研究中的批评转向》
发表在《华南师范大学学报》2007第6期
质疑文化本质论(如:高/低语境、高/低不
确定性规避、高/低权势距离、个人主义/集
体主义等)、逻辑实证主义研究范式的霸
权地位(对权势和特权问题均采取回避态
度);理论多采用人际交往理论(例如:
不确定性规避理论、反预期理论等)。
什么是文化本质论?
Cultural Essentialism: 把某个民族或
国家的人们所认同的价值观、思维方
式、社会习俗和生活方式视为该民族
或国家所独有的、不变的。如:
东方高语境文化 西方低语境文化
东方集体主义
西方个人主义
东方阴柔(跳水)西方阳刚(足球)
论文《跨文化交际学
理论反思三题》
发表在《外国语言文学》2007年第4期
1.权势关系未引起足够重视。认为交际是一个有序的过程,
即人际交往行为是有一定的秩序和特定模式的,而非不
可预测和无序的。
2.表征主义的交际观把交际定义为“描述或报道现实,从
而提供信息,表达‘意义’”。这就忽略了交际是说话
人共同建构的一种社会行为这一事实,把交际假设成无
权势和利益参与其中的“纯净”过程。
3.文化本质论有损跨文化交际学研究的科学性。
交际是可预测和有序的?
Nixon: This is our newest model. This
is the kind which is built in thousands
of units for direct installations in the
houses. In America, we like to make
life easier for women ...
Khrushchev: Your capitalistic attitude
toward women does not occur under
Communism.
交际是可预测和有序的?
Nixon: Here you can see the type of tape which
will transmit this very conversation immediately,
and this indicates the possibilities of increasing
communication. And this increase in
communication, will teach us some things, and
you some things, too. Because, after all, you
don’t know everything.
Khrushchev: If I don’t know everything, then
you know absolutely nothing about Communism,
except for fear!
