Journal of Asian Pacific Communication	

Call Deadline: 31-Oct-2003 ASIAN BUSINESS DISCOURSES
FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS

Abstracts are invited for articles on the theme of ASIAN BUSINESS
DISCOURSES for a special issue of the Journal of Asian Pacific Studies
and an edited collection to be published by Peter Lang.

The next few years will witness a consolidation of Asian perspectives
on business communication that will broaden and enrich the profile of
this already multi-disciplinary field and may indeed change it in yet
unforeseeable ways.

It is therefore quite timely and appropriate that the Journal of Asian
Pacific Communication (JAPC) should host a special issue on Asian
Business Discourses in Spring 2006 (Guest editor: Francesca Bargiela).

A complementary volume on Asian Business Communication is also planned
for Autumn 2006, to be published by Peter Lang. It will appear in the
series 'Linguistic Insights. Studies in Language and Communication'
edited by Professor Maurizio Gotti, University of Bergamo (Italy). The
volume will be co-edited by Francesca Bargiela and Maurizio Gotti.
