A Study On The Lexical Vacancy And Its Causes In Cross-Cultural Communication
Abstract
Language is the main carrier and the communication tool of culture as well as an inseparable part, while vocabulary is its basis. Each country has its own unique culture, with each culture giving birth to the very idiosyncratic vocabulary, named the lexical vacancy. Nowadays, the intercultural communications occur so frequently. In order for a culture to achieve a smooth and effective communication, it should break through the obstacle of language, especially the lexical vacancy. By intercultural communication, people can get a glimpse of different customs and values, religions, aesthetics and so on through the lexical vacancy. However, these factors are barriers to international communication as well.
