Inhaltsangabe:

This volume is both an introduction and practical guide to the main concepts and problems of intercultural communication. Viewed from within the framework of interactive sociolinguistics, this volume focuses in particular on the discourse of westerners and of Asians, the discourse of men and women, corporate discourse and the discourse of professional organizations, and inter-generational discourse. While making use of research in pragmatics, discourse analysis, organizational communications, social psychology, and the ethnography of communication, this book presents students, researchers and practitioners with a unified framework for the analysis of discourse.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Ron Scollon and Suzanne Wong Scollon have written extensively on cross-cultural communication, from academic positions in North American universities as well as Taiwan, South Korea, and Hong Kong, and in consultancies with over fifty governmental and corporate organizations in North America and Asia. Their book, Narrative, Literacy, and Face in Interethnic Communication, has proved to be foundational both within academic studies of intercultural discourse and within corporate or institutional training programs. The authors are currently Lecturers in English at City Polytechnic of Hong Kong.
