A large number of interactions between well-educated immigrants from all continents and from more than a hundred countries, together with some including native speakers, are examined and participants’ answers to questionnaires compared with their actual communicative behaviour. The author raises questions of interest to many groups: linguists, educators, business people and sociologists. Which values are most salient and enduring, and which cause clashes between cultural groups? To what extent do people retain the communication style identified with their first language and how do these different styles impact on others?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword \u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e Transcribing Symbols \u003cbr\u003e 1 Introduction \u003cbr\u003e 2 The Data \u003cbr\u003e 3 Cultural Value Systems: An Overview of the Literature\u003cbr\u003e 4 Data Analysis: Cultural Values Reflected in the Discourse\u003cbr\u003e 5 Communication Styles: An Overview of the Literature \u003cbr\u003e 6 Data Analysis: Discourse Organisation and Rhetorical Strategies\u003cbr\u003e 7 Data Analysis: Turn-Taking Patterns \u0026amp; the Distribution of Talk \u003cbr\u003e 8 Data Analysis: Assertiveness, Disagreement and Conflict \u003cbr\u003e 9 Developing Communicative Competencies \u003cbr\u003e 10 Conclusion\u003cbr\u003e Appendix 1: The Participants \u003cbr\u003e Appendix 2: Problems \u003cbr\u003e Appendix 3: Training: Methods and Materials \u003cbr\u003e Appendix 4: Explanations for Exercise 2 \u003cbr\u003e Appendix 5: Explanations of Case Studies: Exercise 5\u003cbr\u003e Appendix 6: Explanations of Non-Verbal Behaviour: Exercise 6 \u003cbr\u003e References \u003cbr\u003e Index\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Channel View Publications Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51043054092631,"sku":"9781853596193","price":23.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781853596193.jpg?v=1750956815","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/how-different-are-we-spoken-discourse-in-intercultural-communication-9781853596193","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
