Answer to Question 1

Answer to Question 2

typically quite direct and language is very specific. Speakers say exactly what they mean, and the verbal
messages are very explicit, with lots of details provided. In low-context cultures, what the speaker intends
the message to mean is not heavily influenced by the setting or context; rather, it is embedded in the
verbal message.
