  Article:   THE PRAGMATICS OF INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION (II): TOWARDS DEFINING CULTURAL DEIXIS.

Authors:  ANCA LUMINIŢA GREERE. 		 
       
         
  Abstract:  Recognising the need for a more systematical approach to dealing with cultural encoding in intercultural conversational analysis, this paper is an attempt to conceptualise cultural elements encoded in conversation patterns as cultural deixis. Through analogy with other types of pragmatic deixis emphasis is laid on the importance of defining cultural deixis. Through proper identification and analysis of culturally deictical elements the potential of misinterpretation is reduced thus facilitating the conversational process as to reach the intended pragmatic outcome.
