The Cambridge Handbook of Intercultural Pragmatics
The Cambridge Handbook of Intercultural Pragmatics
Intercultural pragmatics addresses one of the major issues of human communication in the globalized world: how do people interact with each other in a language other than their native tongue, and with native speakers of the language of interaction? Bringing together a globally-representative team of scholars, this Handbook provides an authoritative overview to this fascinating field of study, as well as a theoretical framework. Chapters are grouped into 5 thematic areas: theoretical foundation, key issues in Intercultural Pragmatics research, the interface between Intercultural Pragmatics and related disciplines, Intercultural Pragmatics in different types of communication, and language learning. It addresses key concepts and research issues in Intercultural Pragmatics, and will trigger fresh lines of enquiry and generate new research questions. Comprehensive in its scope, it is essential reading not only for scholars of pragmatics, but also of discourse analysis, cognitive linguistics, communication, sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, and second language teaching and learning.

- Gives an overview of key concepts and research issues in intercultural pragmatics
- Presents an alternative way of thinking about interaction by shifting attention from L1 communication to intercultural communication

'… this is a praiseworthy publication that digs deep into the intercultural perspective of actual language use and IP research, and sheds a clear light on how speakers' intercultural interactions function 'in an era in which multilingualism rather than monolingualism is the norm'.' Maria Economidou-Kogetsidis, Corpus Pragmatics
'This is no doubt a comprehensive volume which introduces the reader to a mix of more traditional frameworks and more recent approaches in this still new field.' Elisabeth Reber, The Year's Work in English Studies
