When is a universal not a universal? 61
Notes
1. Schmied and Schäffler (1996) prefer to use the term explicitness rather than explicitation.
On this issue cf. Chesterman, this volume.
2. Our observations are limited to the American context because comparable British data
for the same time span were not available from the Index, and other countries of publication
had been excluded from the CEXI sampling frame.
3. Informal interviews of native speakers of English/Italian acquainted with Italian/English
culture confirmed without exception our intuitions.
