Content:
"Communication Across Cultures examines the ways in which spoken and written language may be interpreted depending on the context and expectations of the participants. Key concepts are drawn from linguistic pragmatics and discourse analysis, and studies of politeness and cross-cultural communication. The book has many examples from a variety of languages and cultures - from Japan to Germany, from the Americas to Africa, and to Australia. This book is intended for students of linguistics and related disciplines, and interdisciplinary researchers who have no specialised knowledge of linguistics. Relevant literature and recent research are featured and explained throughout for the benefit of students who are learning how research in this field is conducted, and also for interdisciplinary researchers wishing to incorporate some of these perspectives into their own work ."--BOOK JACKET.
