Abstract:

Key Features:

- Extensive study: examines 76 video and audio-taped interactions
   involving 150 non-native and 6 native speakers from 100 different
   countries
- Study's participants focus on specific issues of language and
  culture
- Raises questions of interest to linguists, educators, sociologists
  and business people

Description

This book examines the influence of cultural values and communication
styles on intercultural communication and demonstrates how training
can develop intercultural communication competencies. A large number
of interactions between well-educated immigrants from all continents
and from more than a hundred countries, together with some including
native speakers, are examined and participants' answers to
questionnaires compared with their actual communicative behaviour. The
author raises questions of interest to many groups: linguists,
educators, business people and sociologists. Which values are most
salient and enduring, and which cause clashes between cultural groups?
To what extent do people retain the communication style identified
with their first language and how do these different styles impact on
others?
