Compare and contrast the use of language by Asians and Americans with respect to contextual style.
What will be an ideal response?
Asian Americans tend to communicate in a high-context style, with context as the primary
channel for communication. Direct and specific references to the meaning of the message are not given. In interpreting the meaning of the message, receivers are expected to rely on their knowledge and appreciation for nonverbal cues and other subtle affects. The Euro-American culture tends to focus on communication through a low-context style, in which words are the primary channel for communication. Direct, precise, and clear information is delivered verbally. Receivers can expect to take what is said at face value.
