Answer:
Language as a complex phenomenon involves the interweaving of many components that affect its use in communication and the interpretation of spoken or written language structures. Apart from, of course, linguistic components such as morphosyntax and semantics, it is also necessary to take into account the cultural component, especially when it comes to communication in foreign languages, which makes communication even more complex.
Explanation:
Awareness of the importance of a cultural component in communication in a foreign language is particularly relevant to communication in English if one considers that this language has become the modern language of global communication (lingua franca). Specifically, speakers who use English as a foreign language in communication engage in verbal interaction with both non-native English speakers and native speakers of English. Participants in such communication retain the characteristics of their linguistic and cultural identity, but they must also take into account the cultural patterns of speakers of other languages.

Explanation:
The story of Oath of the Horatii came from a Roman legend first recounted by the Roman historian Livy involving a conflict between the Romans and a rival group from nearby Alba.The Romans select the Horatii and the Albans choose another trio of brothers, the Curatii. In the painting we witness the Horatii taking an oath to defend Rome.
The painting depicts three men, brothers, saluting toward three swords held up by their father as the women behind him is in grieve.One of the wives in the painting is a daughter of the Curatii and the other, Camilla, is engaged to one of the Curatii brothers. At the end of the legend the sole surviving Horatii brother kills Camilla, who condemned his murder of her beloved, accusing Camilla of putting her sentiment above her duty to Rome.
the painting is typically presented as a prime example of Neoclassical history painting. It tells a story derived from the Classical world that provides an example of virtuous behavior.Today the painting is typically interpreted in the context of the French Revolution and David’s own direct involvement as a revolutionary. The exact source of the scene that inspired David is in doubt but it is important to art historians because it can offer clues as to David’s intentions for the picture.
