  5. Process Analyses • Seeking Similarities • “Birds of a feather flock together.” • Uncertainty Reduction “When strangers meet, their primary concern is one of uncertainty reduction or increasing predictability about the behavior of both themselves and others in the interaction.”(G. Cowin, 2002)

  7. Contents Place, as an invariable identified by both sides ahead of communication, should be the most basic principle of intercultural communication. In other words, communicators should in the first instance obey the cultural rules of the place where communication happens.

  8. Additions 1. This principle should be the prerequisite when communication happens and the objective standard in solving the cultural conflicts. 2. The establishment of the place-based principle is not in conflict with the fact that after they make knowledge of the cultural background of the other side, communicators voluntarily give up some or all of their own cultural criteria so as to show respect or to realize effective communication. 3. The establishment of the place-based principle is not in conflict with the general principles of understanding, toleration, and cooperation and mutual benefit.

  9. Recommendations Acculturation and deculturation Linguistic competence Cultural adaptation Dual membership ( Cultural Identity) Uncertainty reduction Communication skills

  10. Significance • The establishment of the place-based principle benefits the unification of the standard, avoiding unnecessary communicative conflicts and helping the realization of effective communication. • The establishment of the place-based principle incarnates the equality of the individual cultures, promoting the development of each national culture and resisting the extension of the cultural supremacy.
