<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" class="" style="font-size: 14px;">The notion of interculturality is currently being revised, renewed and given new meanings. For instance there is a clear shift from an overemphasis on the <i class="">cultural</i> to the <i class="">inter-</i> of
the <i class="">intercultural</i>. The ideologies hidden behind discourses of interculturality are also increasingly being unearthed and criticised. There is in fact much more going on when people meet interculturally than simply the transfer of information
about their culture and approaching the ‘intercultural’ from a constructionist has become a necessity. Discourse analysis appears to be a fruitful and promising tool to examine this renewed form of interculturality. Unfortunately the use of discourse analysis
in relation to interculturality is often minimal although the authors claim to be doing it. This collected volume proposes to serve as a discourse toolbox for working on interculturality.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" class="" style="font-size: 14px;">Discourse analysis is a broad and diverse field that relies on many and varied approaches. It starts from the claim that one needs to look beyond the sentence boundary to explore the use of language in terms
of construction, function and social action. As such Discourse Analysis can help us to examine the political meanings of texts, the importance of contexts and the production process on the meanings of what people say, and the influence of power on what goes
on when people meet. Discourse Analysis is used in many fields such as cultural studies, education, communication, postcolonial studies, linguistics, etc. and can be conducted in different ways. <span class="" style="color: rgb(38, 38, 38);">Conversation analysis,
the ethnography of communication, Critical discourse analysis (CDA), </span>rhetorical political analysis, discursive psychology,<span class="" style="color: rgb(38, 38, 38);"> Interactional sociolinguistics, Enunciation and Dialogism all represent different
forms of Discourse Analysis. Important for research on interculturality today is the argument that discourses <i class="">cannot but be</i> unstable, variable and sometimes incoherent.</span></span></p>

<span lang="EN-GB" class="" style="color: rgb(38, 38, 38); font-size: 14px;">The editors wish to attract scholars who are interested in giving strength and meaning to the use of Discourse Analysis in relation to research on interculturality.</span></p>

<span lang="EN-GB" class="" style="color: rgb(38, 38, 38); font-size: 14px;">Potential authors should submit a proposal dealing with interculturality in any context of encounters (education, business, study abroad, etc.). Each chapter should introduce a clear
approach to Discourse Analysis and demonstrate how it can be used to analyse an example of interculturality. The author should:<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p>
