Beskrivning

Combining perspectives from discourse analysis and sociolinguistics, the second edition of this popular textbook provides students with a comprehensive, up-to-date and critical overview of the field of intercultural communication. Ingrid Piller explains communication in context using two main approaches. The first treats cultural identity, difference and similarity as discursive constructions. The second, informed by bilingualism studies, highlights the use and prestige of different languages and language varieties as well as the varying access that speakers have to them.

'This is an excellent introduction and a very important contribution to the field. I have not found in other recent publications such extensive and wide- ranging examples of relevant research used to support the arguments put forward - International Journal of Applied Linguistics 'One important feature of the book is the inclusion of case studies from around the world. The book consists of vivid and interesting cases of modernity that span the globe, suggesting that Piller's intercultural communication research derived from a worldwide cultural basis. In other words, every nation, due to its own unique culture, may contribute to issues and understanding of intercultural communication - Discourse Studies
