摘要: 涵化(Acculturation)是跨文化交际研究中常提到的重要概念,它往往和旅居者在他国的文化适应有关。随着东南亚来
昆明的留学生逐渐增多,对留学生文化适应、语言学习等方面的研究逐步增长。不过,多数研究重在考察某一留学群体的文化
适应情况,鲜见考察某一个体涵化情况的个案研究。本案例较详细地分析一名斯里兰卡学生涵化四个阶段的关键事件及意
义:强烈的食物文化休克;不经意的破冰问候语;勤学汉语,善用同胞、东道国和跨国朋友圈;专业学习与创业并举。希望本案
能为在华或预来华的斯里兰卡留学生及其文化适应研究提供一定的启示。

Abstract: Acculturation, a popular but important concept in intercultural communication studies, has been mainly concerned with a
sojourner's adaptation in a new culture that is different from one's customary one. With the increase of the overseas students from South
Asia and South Eastern Asia, studies on overseas students' learning of Chinese, and their acculturation in China have received great
attention. However, no individual among the vast sojourners has been singled out for deeper and more detailed investigation as to what
has been taking place along the way he or she adjusts and accustoms to the new culture. With the individuality of acculturation in mind,
this case study looks at the four stages and their related key events in his process of acculturation, that is, culture shock resulting from
typical Chinese food, a popular greeting "Hi", the strong motivation for learning Chinese to build personal networks, and the starting of
business cooperation between China and Sri Lanka. It is hoped that this case story will shed some light on the individuation process of a
sojourner when living and studying in a foreign situational context.
