Abstract:
|
The world is getting smaller and as suggested by McLuhan we are actually living in a so called global village. Internet even makes it smaller especially at the level of interacting with people from different cultures. Normally as many examples showed us, we are ready to misunderstand when communicating with people from different cultures. Nevertheless on the other hand, in some ways internet makes it easier to understand each other. The non written signs in texts are more or less common, and used by global internet users. Even two foreigners, who are using English, but not native speakers can overcome their problems of misunderstanding thanks to internets cultural codes. These codes can unify two people coming from different cultures under its globally accepted cultural rules. As a matter of fact, our assumption can be formulated as followed:
The participants from different cultures, in a given interpersonal communication situation that occurs on the internet, can avoid the misunderstandings. This assumption is highly related with the question of internet culture. More and more in the recent years the question of internet culture has been an issue for researchers. Does the internet have its own culture? If so, in what way do people get affected by this culture? Is it an obligation to know the internet culture in order to communicate interpersonally? Can the internet culture manage to build an international cooperative construction?
In the light of all these questions, firstly we will discuss the theoretical aspects of internet culture. Not only we will cite the important researchers opinions but we will also give our own point of view in these debates. Then we will present our case study, which aims to analyse the communication between two foreigners. |
