From a grammatical point of view, negation is considered a linguistic universal, whereby differences in expression across languages are not necessarily rendered syntactically. The focus of this paper is not, however, on syntactic but rather pragmatic aspects and cultural scripts associated with indirect negation, and limited to the cultures of Saudi Arabia and Japan. Based on linguistic and paralinguistic cues from audio-visual data and ethnographic data collection, a pragmatic comparison between the seemingly contrastive cultures of Japan and Saudi Arabia is carried out. Interestingly, pragmatic aspects of discourse such as “face saving” (shame, honour, and conflict avoidance) present similar strategies in the two languages involved, as related to the functions of refusal and denial.

This paper is about “othering” in cyberspace. The roots of othering of non-Muslims in Saudi Arabia are seen in the perception of umma as special and superior, therefore automatically categorising “non-believers” as “other”. The in-group and out-group demarcation strategies and consequent marginalisation are considered from both perspectives as bilateral and mutually exclusive. The focus is placed on othering e-space (cf. Hui Kyong Chun 2002), where marginalised voices can be heard via virtual communication. The effects of virtual reality on real life interaction (especially female – male) and resulting involvement in controversial and taboo topics are also discussed (cf. Al-Saggaf and Williamson 2006). Additionally, some cases of demarginalisation or “de-othering” are described in terms of cyber-verbal expression and exchange of opinions.
