Arab’s Culture

Culture of Arab: Communication Expressive Tone of Voice “Arab cultures tend to value an emotionally engaged, expressive tone of voice when important issues are discussed… According to Nydell (1996) one of the most commonly misunderstood aspects of Arab communication involves the ‘display of anger’. Arabs are not usually angry as they appear to be. Raising the voice, repeating points, even pounding the table for emphasis may sound angry, but in the speaker’s mind, they merely indicate sincerity” (Ting-Toomey, 1999: 122) Overassertive Communication “An Arab feels compelled to overassert in almost all types of communication because others expect him to do so. If an Arab says exactly what he means without the expected assertion, other Arabs may still think that he means the opposite. For example, a simple “No” by a guest to the host’s request to eat more or drink more will not suffice. To convey the meaning that he is actually full, the guest must keep repeating “No” several times, coupling it with an oath such as “By God” or “I swear to God.” (Almaney and Alwan, 1982: 84 cited in Ting-Toomey, 1999: 122)
