A Hungarian teacher once described his language as “listener responsible” in contrast to English (presumably American English), which he said was “speaker responsible”. That is to say, we fault the speaker/writer if they are misunderstood. The Hungarians too, describe their language and culture as therefore most suited to poetry. <BR/><BR/>On the other hand, I think what the author describes as an internal pattern between French people, the nuances of measuring intellect and cultural sophistication, happens very much between natives of the US as well. I wouldn’t expect even a fluent visitor or immigrant to ever have parity with my life’s experience of cultural references, and so I alter my speech to a less ambiguous style when with non-natives. “Speaker responsible” and all that…. 8^) But if I do that, how would the visitor know what else I am capable of? I know I longed for the nuanced precision of my own language when I felt like a cavedweller in Hungarian, only able to buy eggs and ask directions.USelainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15551995221350532168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-60878850900378162282008-05-29T00:40:00.000+02:002008-05-29T00:40:00.000+02:00Petrea that was a lovely thing you said at my blog...Petrea that was a lovely thing you said at my blog.
