This project will develop a theoretical framework for the study of intercultural communication by drawing on the theory of cultural linguistics. Cultural linguistics is a recent sub-field of linguistics which has so far been applied to the study of mono-cultural, monolinguistic data. This study will bring the theory to examine discourse in a significant muli-cultural setting such as Australia. In particular, it will shed light on the nature of miscommunication between people of different cultural backgrounds, which has often led to serious damage to human relationships. This will be achieved by explicating the culturally-constructed conceptualizations that people bring to their intercultural discourse.

本项目将借鉴文化语言学的理论，为跨文化交际的研究建立一个理论框架。文化语言学是语言学的一个新的分支领域，到目前为止已经被应用于单一文化、单一语言数据的研究。这项研究将把这一理论带到澳大利亚这样一个重要的多元文化背景下考察语篇。特别是，它将揭示不同文化背景的人之间沟通不畅的性质，这往往导致人际关系的严重破坏。这将通过解释人们将文化建构的概念化带到他们的跨文化话语中来实现。
