“…Linguistic distance is the measure of dissimilarity between two languages or language varieties (Chiswick & Miller, 2005). Language is an essential element of culture (Dylman et al, 2020;Lazear, 1999). Language differences can serve as proxies for cultural differences (Sun, Mostafiz, et al, 2023).…”

Cultural differences represent significant trade barriers between transitional economies and their trading partners, which has been overlooked in recent studies. This paper investigates the effect of cultural distance (CD) on bilateral trade from Bangladesh. We conceptualize a research model by employing the extended gravity model as a theoretical base, where we amplify the theory by proposing that linguistic distance (LD) as a part of cultural distance has a profound effect on bilateral trade based on bilateral trade data from 1995 to 2019 and Hofstede's culture indices between Bangladesh and 157 trading partner countries. Using a pseudo‐poisson maximum likelihood model, we find that cultural distance has a significant and negative impact on Bangladesh's trade, with a significance level of 1%. Our empirical results indicate that one unit increase in cultural distance decreases trade by 40.84% and cultural distance has a greater impact on Bangladesh's exports than on its imports. Findings also reveal that the effect is substantial with high‐income nations than with low‐income nations, and for manufacturing products than primary products trade. Further, this study suggests that in addition to cultural distance (CD), linguistic distance (LD) from trading partners has a tantamount effect on bilateral trade, which is significant at 1%. Theoretically, this study suggests that linguistic distance (LD) should be added on gravity model for analyzing effects of cultural distance on bilateral and multilateral trade. Practically, this study contributes by providing valuable insights to policymakers to pay attention to cultural differences, especially during these economic transition periods to increase bilateral trade.

“…Language enables creation, communication, and attribution of meaning and plays a key role in the perception of emotions. It is acquired within cultural and emotional contexts (Dylman et al, 2020) and whilst some emotions and words are shared across cultures and languages, their meaning may differ in distinct contexts. Emotions help access insight and may be experienced less intensely in a NNL than in a native language (NL)-the impact being accentuated by the feelings certain words evoke, rather than the meaning itself (Ferré et al, 2022).…”

PurposeLanguage plays a complex role in coaching, facilitating communication, comprehension and meaning construction. Yet, the implications of coaching in a non-native language are uncertain and under-researched. This study explores the role of non-native language (NNL) in dyadic workplace coaching practice. Specifically, it explores how working in a NNL influences the coaching experience from the coach’s perspective.Design/methodology/approachA qualitative approach was chosen to explore the way coaches view coaching in a NNL. Twenty-three semi-structured interviews were conducted with coaches experienced in coaching in NNL. Reflexive thematic analysis (RTA) was applied for data analysis.FindingsNNL coaching presents a paradoxical mix of negative and positive tensions for the coach and coachee in communication, relationship and insight. NNL coaching is nuanced and may be accommodated using coaching competencies to mitigate the potential for misunderstanding and relationship rupture. It offers alternative perspectives to existing worldviews, eliciting deeper insights. Coaches’ confidence in coaching in a NNL varies from a challenging struggle that perceptually hinders performance, through ambivalence, to a sense of greater resourcefulness.Originality/valueThe study contributes to the stream of literature on language in international business, sociolinguistic research and how meaning is constructed in a coaching process. First, the work develops a distinction between coaching in a native language (NL) and a NNL. Second, study results indicate that the context of NNL creates challenges as well as opportunities in a dyadic coaching process, particularly regarding aspects of the coach–coachee relationship and insight elicitation via alternative perspectives. Moreover, several practical implications of the study for the coaching practice are discussed.

“…Moreover, although a large body of research considers these terms distinct emotions, the scientific debate about the characteristic features is still open. Furthermore, there is a growing recognition that the exact labels used to indicate emotions can vary in their meaning and experience across different cultures and languages and that emotions, culture, and language influence each other and are closely intertwined ( Jack et al, 2012 ; Mesquita et al, 2015 ; Heyes, 2019 ; Dylman et al, 2020 ). Indeed, numerous studies highlighted the difficulties in translating the words that label the emotions from one language to another one ( Brislin, 1970 ; Wierzbicka, 1986 , 1992 , 1994 , 1997 ; Heider, 1991 ; Russell, 1991 ; Mesquita and Frijda, 1992 ; Russell and Sato, 1995 ; Mesquita, 2001 ; Parkinson et al, 2005 ; Giorgetta et al, 2012 ).…”

IntroductionGuilt, shame, and embarrassment represent affective experiences with social implications and diverse self-relevant negative affect. While the distinction between these emotion terms has been extensively investigated, little is known about how they diverge and are related to each other and their crosscultural differences.MethodsHere, we used a community sample (N = 163) comprised of Americans and Italians and a scenario-based measure in which we asked participants to report the intensity of emotions that the story’s main character would feel. The elements used to build the scenarios were based on a recent theoretical approach that proposes distinguishing cognitive, somatic, interoceptive, and behavioral ingredients to differentiate between these emotions. We hypothesized that these ingredients might effectively elicit the target emotions and that the main differences across these cultures would be associated with the emotion terms of shame/vergogna.ResultsOur findings suggest that these defining elements are effective in evoking experiences of guilt, shame, and embarrassment. Moreover, we found that shame was equally elicited by the Shame and Guilt Scenarios only in the American sample, thus suggesting a proximity between shame and guilt in the American sample compared to the Italian’s terms of vergogna and colpa.DiscussionThese results suggest important implications for the psychology of moral emotions and highlight the importance of taking into account some cognitive factors, such as the quality of self-evaluation, the discrepancy between the actual self and the ideal self vs. the sense of perceived responsibility, and the different domains related to self-esteem.
