Abstract:

In today's globalized world of international contact and multicultural
interaction, effective intercultural communication is increasingly seen as
a pre-requisite for social harmony and organisational success. This

arise in real-life intercultural interaction. The editors have brought
together experts from a range of disciplines, including linguistics,
psychology and anthropology, to provide a multidisciplinary perspective on
the field, whilst simultaneously anchoring it in Applied Linguistics. 

Key features: 
*Provides a state-of-the-art description of different areas in the context
of intercultural communication 
*Presents a critical appraisal of the relevance of the field
*Offers solutions to everyday language-related problems 
*International handbook with contributions from renowned experts in the field
