Speaking a language without understanding the culture in which it is spoken can lead to misunderstandings and miscommunication. WHAT MEAN? explores the problems of language and culture facing both Russians speaking English and Americans speaking Russian. An introduction to the basic issues of the link between language and culture is followed by a discussion of the reasons for some common errors in Russian and English. Numerous practical examples help readers understand the importance of cultural markers and signposts in both languages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lynn Visson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0781813220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780781813228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hippocrene Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.58h x 5.52w x 0.35d","brand":"Lynn Visson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947137204479,"sku":"9780781813228","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_2fbc8693-f13d-43f3-a504-282cd379a13e.jpg?v=1681516937","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/what-mean-lynn-visson-9780781813228","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
