Overall, this is a very substantial and useful volume which has some serious implications for a host of practitioners in such a vast field of study as interpersonal communication. -Vahid Parvaresh, Department of English Language and Literature, Faculty of Foreign Languages, University of Isfahan; Discourse Studies, 17(1) This volume makes an important contribution. Its breadth is impressive, as is its contents: it encompasses both new theoretical perspectives and new applications. There is also a strong connection with the Spanish language and Spanish scholarship, making available research that English-centric scholars might have missed. - Jonathan Culpeper, Lancaster University
