Subject: The Cultural Context in Business Communication
John Benjamins Publishing announces this new work in Pragmatics:
The Cultural Context in Business Communication.

The Cultural Context in Business Communication focuses on differences and
similarities in business negotiations and written communication in
intercultural settings. To set the scene, Edward T. Hall looks back at
"culture" as an evolutionary concept and Charles Campbell explains the
value of classical rhetoric in contemporary cultures. Further
contributions present case studies of cross-cultural encounters and
discourse aspects in various settings. Steven Weiss explores the proper
character of six cultures: Chinese, French, Japanese, Mexican, Nigerian,
and Saudi. Other chapters contrast English with cultures such as Chinese,
German, Dutch, Finnish, and Irish. The book closes with two chapters on
training for effective business communication and provide models in
participatory training and gaming.

Urban Voices: Accent Studies in the British Isles
Accents and dialects are constantly undergoing small variations over time,
but evidence shows that change may have become increasingly rapid in the
past few decades. Urban Voices presents one of the few recent surveys of
this phonological variation and change in urban accents across Great Britain
and Ireland.
Each of the 14 specially commissioned chapters is divided into two parts.
The first provides a detailed description of accent features within one or
more urban centres, including information on social and stylistic variation
and ongoing change. In the second part a range of current theoretical and
methodological issues are discussed. Some chapters present wholly new data
based on fieldwork carried out specifically for inclusion in Urban Voices,
while others summarise data from well-known research, up-dated and
reanalysed in accordance with new findings.
Containing copious illustrative and pedagogic material, this textbook
presents a clear pathway to state-of-the-art research for students of
sociolinguistics, dialectology, phonetics, and phonology at advanced
undergraduate and graduate level. In addition, the detailed descriptive data
and the accompanying cassette constitute a valuable resource for students
and teachers of English, clinicians and speech therapists, forensic
phoneticians, researchers in speech recognition and speech synthesis, and
actors.
