Document Summary
Today"s plan: communication, narratives, writing in the university and first assignment. Is the means by which individuals learn appropriate behaviours and the means by which those behaviours are regulated. Low context (primarily western) cultures focus more on language and direct forms of communications: high context ( primarily eastern) cultures focus more on external cues and indirect forms of communications. Types of communication: verbal: the linguistic code, or language used to express complex thoughts/ideas, non verbal: extra linguistic means of transferring information including (not limited to) behaviours such as body language such as body language, vocalics, proxemic artifacts. Communication we will be focusing on this definition. Lustig and koester (2013: communication as a symbolic, interpretive, transactional, contextual process in which people create shared means. People create shared meanings: framework for meaning- the sociocultural context- grows over time and meaning is interpreted through this set of shared values, everyday interaction builds and refines shared rules for ongoing interaction.
