Cultural Communication and Intercultural Contact

"Students of communication from many disciplinary angles will find the book a readily available resource base....the volume is highly recommended for its comprehensive coverage."—Journal of Pragmatics"...an excellent anthology of contributions from the ethnography of communication to the field of intercultural communication."—Language in Society"The anthology must be one of the best in the field."—Studies in Second Language Acquisition"...far more than the simple collection of readings it appears to be at first glance, and that is an achievement....It is unlike anything else available currently, and as such, should successfully fill a unique niche in the intercultural literature."—Wendy Leeds-HurwitzUniversity of Wisconsin--Parkside
