Abstract
Since the 21st century, the science and technology have developed by leaps
and bounds. At the same time, with the increasing exchanges among countries in
politics, culture, science and technology, trade and so on, cross-cultural
communication has attracted more and more attention. It is worth noting that in the
process of cross-cultural communication, due to the different cultures, mistakes,
contradictions and conflicts are emerging. Different countries, different peoples have
their own unique culture, so misunderstandings always happen. The different cultures,
values and ways of thinking, often lead to the failure of communication, which
seriously affects the efficiency of cross-cultural communication. Therefore, through
the analysis of pragmatic failure in cross-cultural communication, this paper tries to
find a solution to this problem.
