About the word Communication,1,),Origin: The English word,“,Communication,”,originates from Latin word,“,commonis,”, which means common. The concept of communication is closely connected with the meaning of commonness(,共同,/,共享,),2) Meanings:,Some anthropologists and the authors of this book communication and culture are closely linked, the two terms are virtually synonymous.,Culture is the foundation of communication,24,3) Translation in Chinese:,“,交际,”,(From the linguistic perspective ,meaning intercourse),“,沟通,”,(From the psychological perspective ,meaning link up ),“,传播,”,( In mass mediem, It means methods of sending imformation by telephone,),“,交通,”“,传通,”,25,II.The definitions of communication,1.The Collins Cobuild English Language Dictionary:,Communication,is defined as the activity or process of giving information to other people or to other living things using signals such as speech, body movements, or radio signals. To sum it up, it is anything that adds meaning to a message. Communication is an ever-changing process and the present communications have a great impact on the communication in the future.,26,2.Oxford Companion to the English Language(McArthur,1993):,Communication refer to the transmission of information( a massage)between source (sender),and reciever,by using signaling system.,27,3.Any act by which one person gives to or receives from another person information about that persons needs, desires, perceptions, knowledge, or affective states.

About the word Culture,1,),Origin: The English word Culture originates,from the,Latin,colo, -ere, with its root meaning to cultivate, generally refers to patterns of human activity and the symbolic structures,that give such activity significance.,30,Definitions of culture,Culture is a term used in confusing and contradictory ways. There is no standard definition of culture. In 1952,Alfred Kroeber,and,Clyde Kluckhohn,compiled a list of more than 164 definitions of culture in,Culture: A Critical Review of Concepts and Definitions.,31,Different definitions of,“,culture,”,reflect different theoretical bases for understanding, or criteria for evaluating, human activity.,Anthropologists,most commonly use the term,“,culture,”,to refer to the universal human capacity to classify, codify,(把,编成法典,),and communicate their experiences,symbolically,. This capacity is long been taken as a defining feature of the genus,Homo,.,32,The Modern Chinese Dictionary:,1) The total sum of material and spiritual wealth created by the mankind in the process of the social and historical development, esp,literature, art, science, education, etc.,(From this we can see culture includes everything, material and spiritural, created by human beings),2) The ability to use the written language and possession of book knowledge .,33,1,、,Sir Edward B. Tylor,writing from the perspective of,social anthropology,in the UK in 1871 described culture in the following way:,“,Culture or,civilization, taken in its wide,ethnographic,(人种志研究的),sense, is that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom, and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society.,34,2,、,More recently, the United Nations Economic, Social and Cultural Organization,UNESCO,(2002) described culture as follows:,. culture should be regarded as the set of distinctive spiritual, material, intellectual and emotional features of society or a social group, and that it encompasses, in addition to art and literature,lifestyles, ways of living together, value systems, traditions and beliefs.,35,3.Kluckhohn,s,definition:,Culture consists in patterned ways of thinking, feeling and reacting acquired and transmited mainly by symbols, constituting the distinctive achievements of human groups, including their embodiments of artifacts; the essential core of culture consists of traditional (i.e.,historically derived and selected) ideas and esp.their attached values.,36,4.Hofstede,s definition:,(Culture consists of) a set mental programes that control an individual,s response in a given context.,5. Clifford Geertz,s,definition:,Culture is an historically transmitted pattern of meanings embodied in symbols, a system of inherited conceptions expressed in symbolic form by means of which men communicate, perpetuate, and develop their knowledge about and attitudes towards life .,37,6.Edward T.Hall,s definition (Refer to P.22),7.Hoeland Frost,s definition(P.33),8.Bates and PLog,s definition(P.33),9.The,definition of the authors (Refer to P.33),38,
