Why do certain bargaining phrases vary across English-speaking cultures (causal reasoning)

Certain bargaining phrases vary across English-speaking cultures due to differences in cultural norms, communication styles, and social expectations that shape how negotiation is approached and expressed. These variations are influenced by the distinct cultural backgrounds that affect politeness, directness, perceived power dynamics, and acceptable strategies in bargaining interactions. Additionally, the strategic use of language reflects adaptive behaviors to maintain social harmony or assert bargaining power differently across cultures. These factors cause diverse pragmatic conventions and linguistic expressions in bargaining settings among English speakers from different cultural contexts. ^{1, 2, 3}
