How do high/low context cultures develop?

by Noct_Stella

What happened to make English a low context culture, and East Asian ones high context?

It's been bugging me for a few months, I wasn't sure if this should go in /r/AskSocialScience or /r/History, apologies in advance if it doesn't belong.

You might also try /r/Askanthropology. Since most readers don't know the jargon to which you refer, you might want to include a definition. To the extent that the concept of high/low context cultures are expressed in language, you might also seek answers from /r/linguistics.
