Abstract:

Today, communication frequently takes place between individuals and 
institutions representing different national and cultural backgrounds. 
Furthermore, technical development has issued advances in online 
communication increasing multidimensional forms of information transfer. 
This has resulted in a vast body of theoretical discussion on the relation 
between language, culture and discourse, within the realm of empirical 
research on intercultural encounters. The volume is a collection of papers 
written by scholars from Poland, Taiwan, Germany and the Netherlands who 
have agreed to bring their perspectives into ever changing field of 
communication studies. The purpose of the work is to present discourse 
functional and pragmatic analysis of social communication, with reference to 
translation, social science, corpus and cognitive linguistics, working with both 
traditional and new media data.
