Nos complace compartir invitación a la conferencia: "Cultural Differences in Expressing Politeness" a cargo de la profesora invitada Viorica Cebotaroș (Alecu Russo Balti State University, Moldavia).
Se llevará a cabo en inglés y resultará de especial interés para el estudiantado que esté cursando asignaturas relacionadas con la pragmática y análisis del discurso, pero estará abierta a toda la comunidad universitaria. Se facilita el resumen a continuación:
Politeness is a vital aspect of communication in all cultures and it involves using language to show respect, empathy, and consideration towards others. Although politeness is a universal phenomenon, the norms of politeness vary greatly across cultures. What may appear polite in one culture, may be seen as impolite, or even completely unacceptable in another. Being aware of these cultural differences is extremely important, especially in cross-cultural communication. In this lesson, we will examine how politeness varies across cultures and situations, and how it can affect social relationships and interactions.
La conferencia tendrá lugar el martes, 25 de abril, a las 9:00h en la Sala de Grados de la Facultad de Humanidades.
