The authors in this volume explore this relationship in a number of cultures and social contexts and discuss the problem of linguistic relativism and its application to several areas of social interaction across cultures. The authors deal with such questions as how language and culture intersect resulting in different points of view on reality that are all equally authentic and rooted in experience. The question of the influence of language and culture on our perceptino of physical and social reality is re-examined for such domains as politics, commerce, working with people, religion, and gender relations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003ci\u003e\"This volume is ... a flashlight offering some interesting and unexpected explorations of the diversity and complexity of the linguistic representation of culture.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e  · Discours \u0026amp; Society\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003ci\u003e\"An interesting book ...
