While much research has been conducted to focus upon words cognitive orreferential meanings, little has been done from the intercultural perspective. This chapterintroduces a study with a focus on childrens semantic development with particularemphasis on cultural meanings and cultural differences. The study involved theparticipation of ten children from Australian and Vietnamese backgrounds. The studystarted with inviting verbal explanations and definitions of words. A trichotomy of form,meaning, and function was also used to guide the discussion with the children aboutwords. The study analysed what words with social meanings (such as wife, teacher andneighbour) mean to children of different cultural backgrounds. This chapter provides adiscussion with examples and data gathered in this research.
