NSM in prospettiva interculturale: i<br />

cultural scripts<br />

I primitivi semantici possono essere utilizzati anche per<br />

quelli che Goddard e Wierzbicka chiamano cultural<br />

scripts:<br />

“Cultural scripts” are a way of spelling out different<br />

“local” conventions of discourse using the<br />

metalanguage of universal semantic primes. Using this<br />

method, cultural norms can be spelt out with much<br />

greater precision than is possible with technical labels<br />

such as “direct”, “polite”, “formal” and so on.<br />

Because they are phrased in simple and translatable<br />

terms, the danger of ethnocentric bias creeping into the<br />

very terms of the description is minimised.
