With the feedback from the subjects being presented and discussed, this article aims to explain
how different readers in English and Chinese cultures read, engage with and interpret poems and
how they respond to the culturally loaded texts by writers from same cultural background and
from different cultural backgrounds. The study of the data seeks to illustrate how the subjects are
influenced by their 'acculturation' (Kramsch, 1998a, p. 125) and education. It attempts to
exemplify how the subjects read and respond in their communications in terms of their different
schemata which result in the differences and similarities in their interpretations and responses
when they read poems and the culturally loaded discourses. It aims to present different ways in
which these subjects form and utilize images and how they interpret metaphors in their reading
process. As a supplementary part of the research, there is also discussion on both the advantages
and the disadvantages of the research methods used for such a study. |
