Abstract:

This comprehensive introduction to intercultural pragmatics examines the
theoretical, methodological and practical issues in the analysis of talk
across cultures. 

The book includes:
*introduction to the key issues in culture and communication
*examination of cross-cultural and intercultural communication
*empirical case studies from a variety of languages, including German,
Greek, Japanese and Chinese
*practical chapters on pragmatics research, recording and analysing data,
and projects in intercultural pragmatics
*exercises at the end of each chapter
*glossary of terms 

This second edition of Culturally Speaking will be an essential guide for
undergraduate and postgraduate students interested in communication across
cultures.

"This volume valuably extends Helen Spencer-Oatey's well-known contribution
to our understanding of rapport management and relational work in different
cultural contexts. Those teaching and researching cross-cultural and
inter-cultural pragmatics will warmly welcome this scholarly yet accessible
book which draws on a diverse range of contexts, communities and countries
to address and illustrate issues of theory, method and evidence."
 -Janet Holmes, Professor of Linguistics, Victoria University of
Wellington, New Zealand

"The analyses of pieces of intercultural communication make this book
interesting and lively, while still retaining an academic perspective on
the subject. This book is suitable for students and researchers of both
intercultural communication and pragmatics alike. 'Culturally Speaking'
enables people to find out about and explain potential problems and
pitfalls in intercultural interaction, thus providing guidelines for a
better and more effective interaction across cultures"

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such 
can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) 
Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations 
can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax 
payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your 
financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any 
gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting 
your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills 
in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure 
that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. 
Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
