文化有动态和静态两个特征。跨文化交际的频繁凸显了文化的动态特征,也使研究者们将目光从“文化定型”概括分类的优势转移到其过度概括和僵硬的弊端上来。然而频繁的跨文化交际不但激活了文化也同时完善了定型,使定型随文化一齐呈现动态性,从而获得新的意义。 Culture has both dynamic and static characteristics. The frequent cross-cultural communication highlights the dynamic features of culture, and also allows researchers to shift their attention from the generalization of “cultural stereotyping” to its over-generalization and rigid abuses. However, the frequent intercultural communication not only activates the culture but also improves the stereotype. As a result, stereotypes become dynamic along with the culture, thereby acquiring new meanings.
