题目：跨文化和通用语言交流的参与方式

Negotiation as the way of engagement in intercultural and lingua franca communication: Frames of Reference and Interculturality

主讲人：英国伦敦大学博贝克学院祝华教授

时间：6月25日上午10:00

地点：学研中心C0930

主要内容：

The talk argues that Negotiation (capitalised to differentiate from negotiation as an activity type such as business negotiation) is the most important means of engagement in intercultural and lingua franca communication. In intercultural and lingua franca communication, thus also in English as a lingua franca (ELF), variability, heterogeneity and uncertainty are the norm, and therefore, the need to negotiate common frames of reference and cultural identity is greater than in other types of communication. By providing a Negotiation approach for intercultural and lingua franca communication, we are able to focus on individuals taking part in interactions along with their agency rather than cultural groups, the here-and-now nature of interactions rather than assumed or predicted course of actions, the resources individuals bring with them rather than problems, and the process rather than the outcome.
