    Cultural texts refer to anything visual that reveals the cultural meanings, customs, and social behaviors of a society. Differences in pronunciation between varieties of English can lead to miscommunication if words are pronounced differently. For example, saying "hit it" instead of "heat it" could cause confusion. Filipinos pronounce words as they are written, with distinct vowel sounds, whereas Americans may blend or drop sounds, making syllables shorter. A cultural barrier can also involve differences in cultural practices or gestures, such as the meaning of a thumbs up, an OK sign, or greetings like shaking hands.

    What exactly is a Cultural Texts?

    related to ideas,
    custom, and social
    behaviors of a particular

    ATTENTION!

    Note that one major cause of


    miscommunication is pronunciation. Speakers
    of varieties of English have different ways of

    N Differences in comprehension
    Phonology and
    Interpretation
    Interpretation then vary because of
    differences in pronunciation. If
    one says “hit it” instead of “heat
    it” or “she ass” instead of “she
    asks,” miscommunication is likely
    to happen.

    In Phil. languange every vowel is


    pronounced with a full, distinct
    sound. Filipinos pronounce words
    as they are written or spelled out
    making it syllable-timed and not-
    stress-timed. Americans, on the
    other hand, blend syllables or
    sometimes even drop some sounds
    making the syllables short.
