INTERCULTURAL MISUNDERSTANDING IN PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS

Abstract

Intercultural misunderstandings in phraseological units are a common phenomenon that arises from differences in language, culture, and context. This abstract explores the complexities and implications of such misunderstandings, highlighting both the challenges they present and the opportunities they offer for cultural exchange and learning. By analyzing examples of misinterpreted phrases across different cultures, this abstract aims to shed light on the potential for miscommunication, offense, and the reinforcement of stereotypes that can result from these misunderstandings. However, it also emphasizes the importance of approaching cross-cultural communication with sensitivity, respect, and a willingness to learn. Through dialogue and mutual understanding, individuals can address intercultural misunderstandings in phraseological units to promote effective communication and foster greater cultural awareness. This abstract underscores the significance of recognizing and navigating these linguistic and cultural differences to build bridges between diverse communities and enhance global communication.
