Thank you so much Mrs. Koutlaki. I easily understood what you say about Persian culture and cultural differences. now Im working on my thesis. this is about "A corpus-based study of the concept of ehteram in Persian with its implications for intercultural communication". Professor Farzad Sharifian introduced this new area to me. now Im a novice researcher in the field of cultural linguistics, but Its my dream to work or write a paper with you as an expert in this field.
Hello Zahra. What an interesting topic you are working on! I would love to read some of your work. The late Professor Sharifian was a pioneer in this area, and his legacy lives on in the work of his students like you. Thank you for your kind words, and best of luck with the thesis!
I love this piece. It goes to the essence of what can turn out to be highly uncomfortable situations when there is a discord between peoples operating according to different cultural norms. It rings very true to me especially because I have experienced most of those said cultures.
Hello John. Thank you for engaging with this piece and for your kind words. This is an issue that has caused me a lot of heartache over decades (!!) but I am working through it and hope to be able to deal with it eventually.
Thank you for an excellent blog. Very thought provoking and relevant
