Critiquing the Do’s and Don’ts

Analyze each cultural suggestion in your do’s and don’ts and point out what details are missing that you need in order to figure out the underlying system of the culture as I have done with some of the examples I posted on the blog.

These criticisms should lead you to an area that you’d like to probe further into by developing some kind of diagnostic that would help you determine what contextualization cues help members of your target culture to determine what choice of form for a given function they will choose in various contexts with various other participants.
