们所说的跨文化交际，就是指来自不同文化群体的人们之间

的交流。在交流过程中，由于各自所处的文化环境不同西安景点排行榜，价

值观念和思维方式有着明显的差异，因此很有可能产生文化

隔阂甚至冲突。而本文主要以此为切入点圣诞节平安夜祝福语，借助美籍华裔

女作家谭恩美的处女作《喜福会》关于爱的作文，对中美文化差异的具体

表现进行深入的分析和探讨。文章主要分为三部分：首先，

就跨文化交际学的定义以及中美研究发展史做一番说明。

其中主要介绍多年来一直努力研究跨文化交际学的美国文

化人类学家霍尔针对文化差异所提出的相关理论追根究底，包括最

著名的高低背景文化理论苍井空不能生育原因。同时多玩dnf双开，对小说《喜福会》的内容

做个介绍儿童旱冰鞋什么牌子好，从而让读者更好的明白选择《喜福会》作为研究

分析对象的原因。其次中山大学自主招生，利用霍尔的高低背景文化理论身边的科学有哪些，借

助《喜福会》中国七夕节，对中美文化差异的具体表现来进行分析ipo上市什么意思，文

章从中美文化价值观念的差别、中美文化的家庭观念的不

同以及中美文化说话行为表达方式差异等三个方面进行了

详细的分析电功率计算题。本文作者最后对跨文化交际进行展望i remember 歌词。随着

全球化的进程爱情小说排行榜，各种文化之间的融合将是一个必然的趋势他山之石 可以攻玉。
