点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

We attempted to construct a theoretical model that can explain the inter-relationship between cognitive processes and particular language use in the context of interpersonal relations including the process of cultural adaptation and conflict resolution. In order to test some of the propositions in the model, a series of empirical studies were conducted, mainly on the basis of experimental methods. We also revealed the role of culture as a basis for cognition and linguistic acts. Symposia and workshops were organize at different conferences to present the findings.
