Which of the following are emphasised in high-context cultures?

High-context cultures emphasise politeness in communication, non-verbal communication, and indirect phrasings.

Politeness, statement 3, is stressed because maintaining harmony and saving face are central to how such cultures interact.

Non-verbal communication, statement 4, matters greatly, since much meaning is carried by gesture, tone, silence and situation rather than explicit words.

Indirect phrasings, statement 5, are favoured because meaning is implied and read from context instead of being stated bluntly.

The use of colloquialism, statement 1, and fractured sentences, statement 2, do not define high-context communication and are not among its emphases.

Instead these leave much unsaid and rely on shared background, unlike the explicit, word-heavy style of low-context cultures.
