Cultural Discourse Studies (CDS), to which this journal is devoted, concerns itself with human communication, like Communication Studies (CS) in general. That is, it takes as its object of study the social interaction in which people use language and other mediums in context, purposefully and consequentially. In this view, communication is a social process which encompasses multiple elements and dimensions (e.g. language, gesture, technology, channels, time and place). As such, communication functionally constructs reality, exercises power and changes the world. And yet, different from many common forms in CS, CDS considers communication not as universal or culturally neutral, but as a global system composed of culturally diversified and competing discourses. Here discourse refers to the cultural form of communication, real or potential, of an ethnically and geopolitically characterized community (say the Chinese/ Asian/Developing/Third World, the/Western/Developed World). Culture in this context refers to the particular ways of thinking, speaking and acting, often involving concepts, norms, values, rules, language, ethnicity, religion, traditions, as well as material artefacts, that are embodied in the discursive practice of a community. Thus, culture is the defining feature of a discourse – hence cultural discourse – and of communication more generally; to study discourse and communication, then, is also to study culture. Any cultural discourse as such has its own system – discourse system. By this is meant the underlying, constitutive configuration of (a) communicative institutions (community, organization, platforms, media technology, etc. – ‘the motor system’) and (b) communicative knowhow (concepts, values, theory, information, principles, tactics, etc. – ‘the nervous system’) which combine to enable, organize and sustain a community’s discursive practice at different levels of abstraction and fields of action. It is the discursive competence of a given community and can have a profound impact on the outcome of its communicative practice. However, it should be stressed that cultural discourses are not to be taken essentialistically, as if they were homogeneous, reified or fixed. Rather, they should be understood in differential, dialectic and dynamic terms: they have dissimilarities both within and without, they are interdependent, and they are subject to change. More importantly perhaps, they are not equal to one another but must be seen in power terms: they interact with one another and consequently relations of domination, exclusion, resistance, cooperation, etc. saturate the process. For practical research purposes, CDS categorizes cultural discourse into six interlocking components, they are: Communicators, Act, Medium, Purpose, History and Culture (CAMPHAC). Specifically, Communicators imply: discursive actors as cultural organizations and members, for investigating who is (not) speaking and acting, in what position and capacity and w

ABSTRACT The idea of unequal Englishes has of late been proposed with vim and vigor to unravel the presence of the unequal spread of the nativized variants of Englishes, especially in Kachurian Outer and Expanding circles. The notion envisions the possibility that any emerging varieties of Englishes in these circles are considered more legitimate than any other emerging variants and are therefore valorized. By contrast, there is also the possibility that certain variants are considered less legitimate, making them stigmatized and demoted to a lower status. This results in unequal Englishes. I argue in this article that the notion of unequal Englishes (a) overlooks the mundanity of vibrant multilingual practices in a certain locus of enunciation, which thus renders the term ‘unequal’ dubious, (b) still succumbs to the idea of structural inequalities within a regional linguistic context and (c) undermines the performative potentials of individual language speakers to construct their own versions of Englishes. By illustrating instances of the everydayness of linguistic practices in several life domains from a specific locus of enunciation (i.e. multilingual and multicultural Indonesia), the article proposes the notion of ‘the praxis of decolonial fissure’ (Walsh 2018), which depicts the grassroot performativity.

ABSTRACT The present article compares the conceptualisation of the Spanish term justicia and the Russian spravedlivost’ with the English justice to determine the contextual uses and specific cultural features of the concept. The data used in the study is taken from three online corpora – British National Corpus, Corpus de Referencia del Español Actual (CREA), and Russian National Corpus. The investigation proposes the explications of the concept within the Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM) framework as it offers an effective tool to decompose and specify the linguistic features reflected in the selected languages. The results of the study reveal the main differences and similarities between the three languages and, in sum, prove the relevance of culture-specific semantic analysis of abstract concepts and the use of NSM as a useful tool in cross-cultural studies.

ABSTRACT The proliferation of models of diversity governance signals not just persistent unease with diversity itself, but also a trend toward increasingly intensive investments in governance and governmentality across political, social, and media platforms. And, following Sara Ahmed (2012), we are cognizant that the institutionalization of diversity may reinforce as much as it may disrupt whiteness. In our response, therefore, we first consider Elias and Mansouri’s proposals in the context of diversity governance as a political project. In a second step, we explore how cultural difference is expressed in Elias and Mansouri’s idea of intercultural engagement. Third, we bring into better focus how communication is envisioned and deployed, activated and delimited in the interculturalism model that the authors promote. Ultimately, we argue that at the heart of intercultural understanding is a peculiar bundling of culture and communication that targets the interactional order of human relationality in ways consistent with a liberal social order reproducing its social inequities more than challenging them.
