The Handbook of Intercultural Discourse and Communication
"Rarely does a book of this significance appear in the field of Intercultural Communication. This handbook provides the most sophisticated understanding so far of
language processes in intercultural interactions." – Min-Sun Kim, University of Hawaii
“This panoramic survey of work on discourse and intercultural communication is destined to become a classic. The articles in it, all by renowned researchers, present state of the art scholarship on a wide range of topics from the micro-dynamics of situated interaction to broader theoretical debates on the relationship between language and culture.” – Rodney Jones, City University of Hong Kong
“This is both a refreshing and fascinating collection on Intercultural Discourse and Communication. It brings this multidisciplinary field right up to date, with a critical and broad range of contributions that include substantial discussions of historical and thematic developments, rich with reference to specific examples. In so doing, it provides an excellent resource and should be indispensable reading to all those working in this diverse and expanding area.” – Peter Sercombe, Newcastle University

“It is a blessing that bibliography follows each chapter where it can be quite use-ful, rather than being amassed at the end of the book.” (The Delta Intercultural Academy, 1 December 2012) “In sum, “The Handbook of Intercultural Discourse and Communication” promises to be a stimulating resource with the potential to inform and to invite debate, inspiring and equipping readers to ponder recent and enduring issues anew.” (Linguist List, 17 November 2012)
“This book provides a rich and diverse sampling of the intercultural work going on from various linguistic perspectives, some authors being more reliant on established intercultural theory and practice and others resisting it.” (Dialogin, 1 October 2011)
The Handbook of Intercultural Discourse and Communication Intercultural discourse and communication is emerging as an important area of research in a highly globalized and connected world, where language and culture contact is frequent and cultural misunderstandings and misconceptions abound. The handbook contains contributions from established scholars and up-and-coming researchers from a range of subfields to survey the theoretical perspectives and applied work in this burgeoning area of linguistics. This timely volume features first a part that introduces the background detailing the scope and topics of the field; followed by one that describes four different theoretical approaches and their basic research questions, from Ethnography of Speaking and John Gumperz’s Interactional Sociolinguistics to Critical Approaches and Postmodernism. The third part, “Interactional Discourse Features,” describes and explains the features of talk that are frequently studied in cross-cultural research, such as turn-taking and politeness. The volume also includes a section on Interactional Discourse sites, examining cross-cultural communication (such as Greek-Turkish discourse). The final part considers a variety of domains in which interaction takes place, such as Translation, Business, Law, Medicine, Education, and Religion.
