语言与文化的关系

语言与文化的关系 史培芹文秘112 010811224 语言作为一种重要的交际工具,并不是独立的存在的,它不仅是人类社会一种普遍具有的现象,还与文化是一个整体。语言与文化相互依赖、相互影响。语言是文化的重要载体,文化对语言有制约作用。当我们学习一门语言的时候,必须了解这个民族的文化,只有这样才能更好的学习语言。所以,认清语言与文化的关系是十分必要的。 一.关于“文化”的定义 从前人的研究来看,“文化”并没有一个十分明确的定义。汉语中“文化”一词最早见于《易经》: “观乎天文,以察时变, 观乎人文, 以化成天下”。其意思是根据人文来进行教化。近、现代关于文化的定义,众说纷纭。文化的经典定义, 是1871 年由英国人类学家泰勒( Edward T ylor ) 在《原始文化》一书中提出的: 文化是“一个复合的整体, 其中包括知识、信仰、艺术、法律、道德、风俗以及作为社会成员而获得的任何其他的能力和习惯”。泰勒对于文化的定义只注重在精神方面, 并不完整。现代文化人类学家认为, 文化是一个群体的活动,包括物质和精神两个方面。(1)人类创造的物质。大自然本身所具有的都不是文化,包括山川、湖泊,我们创造的物质才算是物质文化,例如各项发明、人文景观等等;(2)法规、制度。这些都是人们制定的内容,完全属于文化层面。各项规章制度,包括法律法规,都是人们根据社会的需要拟定的,一方面用来约束社会人,另一方面也体现了不同社会的规律和行为习惯;(3)精神、宗教。人类的信仰是后天形成的,是精神层面的追求。不同种族有不同的宗教信仰,形成了宗教文化。“ 从语言的结构特征来看,语言是个符号系统。它是一个由音位、语素、词和词组、句子和篇章等构成的层级系统。从语言的功能特征来看,语言是个工具,是个思维的工具、交流的工具”(束定芳,1996)。季羡林先生(1995)曾指出文化的定义“最好还是不下”,同时他认为:“文化就是非常广义的,就是精神方面、物质方面,对人民有好处的,就叫做文化。”文化具有如下本质特征: ( 1) 文化是经由社会习得的, 而非遗传获得的; ( 2) 文化是一个社团成员所共有的, 而非某一个人所独有的; ( 3) 文化具有象征性, 语言是文化中最重要的象征系统; ( 4) 文化是一个统一的整体, 文化中的每一方面都和其他方面相互关联。由此可见,文化辐射的范围包罗万象,渗透进社会的各个层面,无所不存,无处不在。 二.语言与文化的关系 我国对语言和文化关系的研究始于上世纪五十年代,至八九十年代研究成果已颇丰,进入新世纪也出现了一些较为新颖的理论。在半个多世纪的时间里,出现的研究成果数不胜数,

中西方语言与文化差异

中西方语言与文化的差异 中西方语言与文化的差异简介:中西方语言与文化的差异不少英语爱好者片面地认为.只要学好外浯埂可与外国入交流其实不然.如果不了解中阳文化的差异.对西方礼仪矢『]之甚少.那么在与外围入交流中会造成许多误会.本人就从包括“迎送... 不少英语爱好者片面地认为.只要学好外浯埂可与外国入交流其实不然.如果不了解中阳文化的差异.对西方礼仪矢『]之甚少.那么在与外围入交流中会造成许多误会.本人就从包括“迎送、会谈、宴请、交际、接待”等几个方面略谈中两文化的差异、语言的交流。 一、称谓礼数。称呼恰当,是尊重对方。与外宾初次见面,最安全的称呼是男子称先生(Mr·),女子称夫人(Mm·),女士称(Ms·),小姐称(Miss)。这些称呼均可冠于姓名、职称、衔称等前面。如“怀特夫人(MrS White)”、“秘书小姐(Miss Secretary)”;而我们中国入出于对客人的尊重.不肯直呼客人的姓名或父母的姓名。两方入则不同,除非在正规场合.在?般场合中.他们更愿意别人直呼其名。例如:Lindalane Chapman.如果你称呼她Miss Chapman(Chapman 女士)或者Miss Linch (Linch小姐),她会感觉你与她不熟。 二、交往语言。假如你是一家公司的翻译,陪同老板去机场迎接来自美国的生意人,你不能说:“你一路上辛苦了”.而J立该说:“Did you have agood night?”或“Did you have a good flight?”如果你说:“You must be very tired.或You must be exhaust—ed.”客人会觉得自己的身体很差,人家才这样说。外国朋友到家中做客,中国人会说:“欢迎,欢迎”,客人会一笑。点点头。如果翻译成英语,就是“Wel—come!W elcome[”或“你来了?(You have come!)”这种英语在外国不常用。他们经常用的是”Come rightin”“Come on in”或”Come in,please.”客人只需说“Thank you!”就可以了。环球博思论文网:https://www.sodocs.net/doc/6a608823.html, 三、初交礼节。自我介绍时避免说太多的“我”在英语中最自私的字眼是“I”。自我介绍应自报家门再委婉问对方名字,如:“I'm Ron lohn—son.M ay 1 have your n~Tle.please?” 四、习俗不同。美国人做事讲效率,他们希望别人做事效率像他们一样高他们有约会守时的习惯.如果你约会迟到5分钟,必须表示道歉:“Sorry,f l11 lace.”或“I apologize.”迟到1O分钟.,必须有充足的理由.迟到10分钟是很不礼貌的。在一次宴会上.外围明友说:“Please finish yourdrink.”中国朋友说:“Sorry.I can t drink any more.”外围朋友说:“Then why did you order SO much?中国朋友说:“I.?.”中国入吃东西喜欢盘子里剩下?些.而西方人吃东西,盘子里是不留东西的。 五、文化差异。“亚洲四小龙”有入把它翻译成“The four dragon of Asia.”假如在20年前,西方入看到“dragon”这个词会感到很害怕。这是中西文化差异造成的。在西方文化中,“龙”是_。种带有迷信、宗教色彩的东西.甚至带有消极意义的东西,最近十几年.随着中国改革开放,西方入对中国的“龙”文化逐渐了解。但普通老百姓仍然不能理解接受“dragon”。在英语中,“亚洲阳小龙”的说法是“Thefour tiger of Asia.”西方人在中国生病时.中国人往往会关心地说:“多喝水”,或“多穿些衣服”,这些关心不符合西方入的习惯.在英语里。你想表达对他人的关心.可说:“I do hope you 11 be feeling bettersoon.Look after youmelfi Try and get some rest.”中国熟人见面.习惯这样问侯:“Where are you going?Have you have vour breakfast/lunch/sup per?” 这是多管闲事了.他们会说:?It S none of your business.”听到

暑假专题——中西方语言与文化差异

年级五年级学科英语版本人教PEP版 内容标题暑假专题——中西方语言与文化差异 编稿老师魏秀然 【本讲教育信息】 一、教学内容 知识窗 语言反映一个民族的特征,它不仅包含着该民族的历史和文化背景,而且蕴藏着该民族对人生的看法、生活方式和思维方式。 语言与文化互相影响,互相作用;理解语言必须了解文化,理解文化必须了解语言。 由于文化背景不同,不同国家和地域的人在交谈时,即使语言准确无误,也会产生误会。常常由于一句话说得不得体,使听者捧腹大笑。 例如在外国演讲的人经常发现听众对他讲的某个笑话毫无反应,然而在国内同一个笑话会使听众笑得人仰马翻。 一个中国青年到附近游泳池游泳,一会儿就回来了,一个外国人问为什么,他解释说:“游泳池里人太多,水太脏,早该换了。像芝麻酱煮饺子。”另一个中国青年笑了,而那个外国人根本不知道什么是芝麻酱和煮饺子。根本感觉不到丝毫幽默。中国人见面互相打招呼时,常说:“你吃了吗?”而外国人会以为这种招呼是说:“我也没有吃,我们一起去吃点东西吧!”这种招呼以为是邀请别人来吃饭。一位刚到中国的外国学者结巴巴地用汉语说:“你们为什么老问我吃了没有?我有钱。”英语中有Good morning,Good afternoon,Good evening 都相当于汉语中的“您好”。但Good noon,Good night都是告别时说的话。在美国,常会听到美国妇女谈她丈夫工作如何努力,干得这样出色,得到奖励等。也会夸自己的子女多么聪明等。然而在中国就会认为这样俗气。一所美国大学开办汉语口语训练班,有两位教师来教,他们的本族语言都不是汉语。上课时,男老师指指自己说:“这是东西吗?”女教师摇摇头说:“你不是东西。”男教师又问:“你是东西吗?”女教师回答:“不,我不是东西。” 中国人也许会猜得出a bull in a china shop(瓷店里的公牛)但想象不出说英语人心目中的形象:一头公牛喷着鼻息,怒气冲冲地闯进摆满精致瓷器的店里。然而,这种说法的意思是:在一个需要举止灵巧得体,细致周密的场合闯进一个行为粗鲁的人。 在中国文化中,龟有两种意义:一方面象征长寿,另一方面则是骂人。但是在西方文化中没有这样的联想,乌龟不过是行动缓慢,其貌不扬的动物而已。

论述题(10*10=100) 1:试论述生产文化的地域性 2:怎样理解生活文化的地域性 3:影响物质文化地域性的因素有哪些? 4:怎样理解语言与地理、社会环境的关系? 5:地名的主要性能(性质和职能)是什么?地名景观的种类有哪几种? 6:宗教与地理环境存在什么样的关系? 7:你对文学的地域差异及与地理环境的关系有怎样的理解? 8:文化生态学: 9:怎样理解文化发展与自然环境间的关系 10:应用文化生态学研究文化地理学问题应注意些什么(简答) 1:(1)农业文化具有地域性,世界农业文化文化区的存在就是农业文化区域性的充分表现。根据其鲜明的地域特点,分布上可分为热带雨林农业文化区、草原农业文化区、干旱沙漠农业区文化区等8大农业文化区。(2)工业产业文化的地域性,一般遵循工业产业分布的特点和区域差异。由于不同的工业生产的所要 求的各类要素的配置不一样,所以工业产业就形成了明显的的地区差异。此外,特定时期的国家政策也会对工业生产的布局带来影响。 2:主要可以分为衣、食、住三个方面进行分析。 (1)服饰文化:在衣着方式、制衣布料、服饰色彩、服装形态等方面都有鲜明的地域性。如制衣布料,因其衣料资源的分布差异,早期的地区差异明显:中国广泛使用丝绸,南亚多用黄麻,靠近北极都用兽毛衣料。

(2)饮食文化:在食物原料、烹饪等方面,区域间都出现了差异。因各地食材不同,人们口味不一,形成了“南甜北咸”的八大菜系。 (3)居住文化:区域差异主要体现在建筑风格、建筑材料和居住形式。因地域气候、资源等自然条件不用,就形成了口袋房、四合院、洞穴式、干栏式等风格形式的建筑。 3:(1)自然因素:主要指自然地理环境:气候通过对生产、生活各个方面的影响而形成与各地气候条件相符的物质文化;地形和水文因素对于生产和生活方式有重要影响;而地质和生物对居住文化、交通运输、饮食结构都有一定影响。 (2)社会、人文因素:首先经济条件决定了物质文化的内容、发展的水平和方向,其变化还影响着居住文化;再者民族文化与宗教信仰对信仰宗教的民族的物质文化有重要影响;其次文化交流、民族交往可以使个民族、各地区的物质文化相互交融和吸纳。 4:语言的产生、发展和演变,以及分布格局等于地理环境及社会环境之间存在着密不可分的关系。 (1)环境与语言的产生:首先语言中的词汇受环境的影响的最大、最直接;其次,环境过语言来作用于语音,地理环境的不同造成人心理上、生理上的差异,从而引起人语音、声调以及表达感情方式的不尽相同;环境还对语言的语法产生有影响,环境塑造出的民族心态会在语法上体现。 (2)环境对语言插播、演进的影响:语言自身的发展深受自然环境和社会历史条件变化的影响。自然环境条件的差异往往会促进或阻碍语言的传播,从未形成了方言;而人文环境的对语言的影响主要体现在:行政区域、移民、国家政策及经济水平等因素对语言发展的强烈影响。行政区域的划分和建制往往对语言的传播扩散骑着决定性作用。国家的方针则往往通过影响移民来影响语言的扩散。 5:地名的主要性能是:社会性、历史性、文物性、指位性、地域性、稳定性、可变性和衍生性。地名景观的种类:山水地名(赤峰、华山)、示位地名(山南水北为阳,衡阳)、寄意地名(西安、宝鸡)、特产地名(盐城)、民

浅析语言与文化的关系

浅析语言与文化的关系 摘要:本文通过对比英汉两种语言在相同场景下的不同表现形式,阐述两种语言所承载的不同的社会文化。目的在于帮助人们在跨文化交际时应注意各自文化的不同,以避免出错和造成不必要的麻烦。 关键词:语言中西文化差异 文化是人类创造出来的所有物质和精神财富的总和,是人类群体创造并共同享有的物质实体、价值观念、意义体系和行为方式,是人类群体的整个生活状态。它是由一个民族或社会的风俗习惯所构成。语言是人类进行思维和传递信息的工具,是一种社会现象,是人类保存认识成果的载体。语言的学习不是单纯地学习词汇、语法,更重要的是学习语言所承载的文化信息。从一种语言我们可以看出使用该语言的社会文化,看到该社会的人们的风俗习惯。下面就英汉两种语言现象在风俗习惯方面的不同展开对比分析,看中西方文化的差异。 1、敬语和谦词汉语中存在大量的敬语和谦辞 如高见、光临、寒舍、愚见等。英语中则少有敬辞和谦辞, 不论对方年龄多大, 级别多高, 并没有汉语中“您”这样的代词。一位英国妇女遇见一位上了年纪的中国人, 用汉语客气地问“:老爷爷, 你几岁啦?”老人诧异地看着她,很生气。这位英国妇女后来才知道误会的原因,“几岁”是问小孩年龄的, 对上了年纪的人应问“您高寿?”或“您多大年纪啦?”产生这种现象的原因之一是中国封建社会等级森严的宗法制度。它要求人们跟长辈或上级说话时有时甚至跟同辈说话时,要用敬语,否则就会被认为用词不当而失礼,甚至显得高傲;谈及自己时要用谦词,如不使用,也被认为没有礼貌。英语中这类词少的原因有二:一为西方人追求人人平等,二为他们长期以来尊重个人价值,乐于表现自己。中西方人接受赞扬、祝贺时的反应也不一样。操汉语的人往往使用“否认”或“自贬”的方式来应答。中国人听到恭维或赞扬的话后会说“哪里,哪里”、“我做得不好”之类故作谦虚的话。而西方人则会毫不犹豫地说声Thank you。当西方人说Thank you 表示谢意时,中国人会马上回答说不用谢,以表示客气。西方人听后,会大惑不解,觉得中国人没有礼貌。如一位英国女教师表扬一位中国女学生: A: Oh, what beautiful handwriting! B: No, no, not at all. 在女教师看来, 该女生的回答是粗鲁的, 否定了该教师对书法的审美观和鉴赏力, 损害了她的积极面子(positive face), 虽然女生本意并非如此, 只是符合了汉语的谦虚准则。英美人善于恭维他人,也乐于接受他人的恭维。当他们觉得该受到赞美却没得到赞美,会感到受到冷淡。对别人的赞美、恭维,英美人最常见的反应是“迎合”或高兴。他们把中国人的这种“否认”看作是无礼,把“自贬”视为自卑和言不由衷的虚伪。赞美语是人际交往的润滑剂, 处理得好, 可以增进友谊; 但如果不了解对方的文化背景而运用不当, 不仅无助于友谊,反而会产生误会, 伤害感情。 2、称呼语:中西方的称呼语的使用差别也很大 “小+姓”在汉语中称呼年龄比自己小的人, 可表示亲切、稔熟等感情色彩。但如果用此称呼英国人却是不礼貌的。“老+姓”或“姓+老”在汉语中称呼年龄较自己长的, 可表示尊敬、礼貌。如果用“老+姓”称呼英国人,如“old smith”,对方在心里可能会生气。在英语文化中, 忌讳“老”字。“老”容易使人想到“年龄大”“、体衰”、“无用”等。所以, 在称呼英美人时应避免使用“old”。称呼语中有一类亲属称呼语, 如爷爷、奶奶、叔叔、阿姨等。汉语中许多亲属称呼语可用于非亲属关
