Abstract:
This book provides a cutting-edge introduction to cross-cultural pragmatics, a
field encompassing the study of language use across linguacultures.
Cross-Cultural Pragmatics is relevant for a variety of fields, such as
pragmatics, applied linguistics, language learning and teaching, translation,
intercultural communication and sociolinguistics. Written by two leading
scholars in the field, this book offers an accessible overview of
cross-cultural pragmatics, by providing insights into the theory and practice
of systematically comparing language use in different cultural contexts. The
authors provide a ground-breaking, language-anchored, strictly empirical and
replicable framework applicable for the study of different datatypes and
situations. The framework is illustrated with case studies drawn from a
variety of linguacultures, such as English, Chinese, Japanese and German. In
these case studies, the reader is provided with contrastive analyses of
language use in important contexts such as globalised business, politics and
classrooms. This book is essential reading for both academics and students.
