Annotation – This article in question has been included in the proposed annotated bibliography
due to its main focus being on the extensive research on the connection between the use of
language and its connection to the various cultures found across the globe. The main reason this
article has been chosen to supplement the presentation is because one of the major roots due to
which companies such as YLIME face constant intercultural communication challenges is due to
the differences in interpreting difference in language and its impact on local cultures. The main
theory which the author has focused on in this article states that the connection between language
and culture exists on a central level rather than being a periphery one and even simple sentences
of English if applied locally can change based upon the cultural context. The author has
explained this theory by stating examples from many regional languages such as Japan wherein
the simple act of giving and receiving can be denoted by 4 different words and meanings based
on the societal structure of the people involved. The main aim of this article is to establish the
basis upon which the majority of the intercultural communication related problems take place
which can be mostly attributed to use of linguistics. The author, Anthony J. Liddicoat in this
article has undertaken secondary form of research by analysing the key role that local linguistics
plays in helping organizations or individuals understand or have difficulties in interpreting local
cultural dialects.
