LINGUISTICALLY INTERCONNECTING CULTURES
LINGUISTICALLY INTERCONNECTING CULTURES

Summary/Abstract: This paper focuses on a few aspects of language use which reflect the culture of a speech community. More specifically it discusses the role and function of connectors, as text connecting devices, particularly two important connective hyponyms, particles and interjections. Given their intercultural pragmatic values, these linguistic devices are compared in English and Albanian so as to display both their diversity and similarity in the respective cultures. The comparative analyses will attempt to show that the cultural diversity and similarity are reflected in language use by redefining the intercultural context.
