Perception Of Utterances Research Articles

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CULTURE AND COGNITION

<p>Contemporary society is swarming with constantly altering paradigms and emerging trends, which are fluctuating within the array of punctilious socio-cultural relationships.<br />It goes without saying that the global shift of events, which entails such notions as national disruption, cultural discrepancies and numerous misinterpretations of implications, leads to local and global havoc within the scope of multilingual and multicultural interactions. Nevertheless, regardless of the swiftly changing pace of ideas and commonly perceived concepts, there is a notion, which remains unaltered, i.e., an individual's socio-cultural background. The latter entails the whole set of factors, ranging from the psychological state of a person, his or her implicit and explicit knowledge and lexical aptitudes. This particular article accumulated a solid set of international respondents, thus delineating the core idea of what exactly moulds us, as units of society, subsequently adapting our perception of utterances, interpretation of interlocutors and the grasp of transpiring events. The author truly believes that the overall accumulation of international responses might serve as a great launching ground and the premise for further multilingual and inter socio-cultural research.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/lit/0707/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Дуализм лексической системы специального английского языка радиообмена в авиации

The research aims to analyze the features peculiar to the lexical system of special English for radiotelephony communication in aviation. The paper is novel in that it is the first to analyze the impact of the phenomena of language redundancy and language means economy on the formation and functioning of the lexical system of the radiotelephony communication language in aviation. The research findings prove that the balanced interaction of these two mechanisms determines and regulates the use of the specific lexical means that facilitate generation and perception of utterances even under difficult communication conditions in speech.

Why Do Korean Listeners Have Difficulty Recovering the Meaning of Casual Speech in English? A Study in Pragmatics

This paper pragmatically explores why Korean listeners encounter difficulties in recovering the speaker's meaning during casual English conversations. Meaning is derived not only from the simple decoding of the composed words but also through a more complex cognitive-pragmatic process of “free enrichment.” In addition to enriching a linguistically encoded logical form, deriving meaning necessitates the recognition of different uses of a language, one of which is the use of expressions in the listener’s culture. The differences in the perception of utterances between native and non-native English speakers highlight the influence of metapragmatic awareness on free enrichment. It can elaborate and/or repair a propositional attitude alongside a linguistically encoded logical form as well as determine an explicature or implicature. This study finds that the need to be aware of the uses of the target language imposes a more conscious burden on Korean listeners, leading to difficulties in recovering the speaker’s meaning.
