Reviews
Rarely does a book of this significance appear in the field of Intercultural Communication. This handbook provides the most sophisticated understanding so far of language processes in intercultural interactions. ? Min-Sun Kim, University of Hawaii ?This panoramic survey of work on discourse and intercultural communication is destined to become a classic. The articles in it, all by renowned researchers, present state of the art scholarship on a wide range of topics from the micro-dynamics of situated interaction to broader theoretical debates on the relationship between language and culture.? ? Rodney Jones, City University of Hong Kong
It is a blessing that bibliography follows each chapter where it can be quite use-ful, rather than being amassed at the end of the book. ( The Delta Intercultural Academy , 1 December 2012) In sum, The Handbook of Intercultural Discourse and Communication promises to be a stimulating resource with the potential to inform and to invite debate, inspiring and equipping readers to ponder recent and enduring issues anew. ( Linguist List , 17 November 2012) This book provides a rich and diverse sampling of the intercultural work going on from various linguistic perspectives, some authors being more reliant on established intercultural theory and practice and others resisting it. ( D ialogin , 1 October 2011)
