Intercultural Perspectives on ESP
Intercultural Perspectives on ESP

Summary/Abstract: Given that English is largely used as a language of high-tech environment, the current article is aimed at shedding light on the intercultural exchange which takes place between L1 and L2 within the “savoir” framework. Emphasis is laid upon “the savoir comprendre” category which is tightly related to interculturality. By contrasting data from English, French, German and Romanian, the paper is concerned with the learners’ need to develop new perspectives on foreign language learning through comparison. Thus the different conceptualization of the screw-bolt category in English, French, German and Romanian seems to be determined by cultural preferences.
