Culture in Communication

This volume is dedicated to questions arising in linguistic, sociological and
anthropological analyses of intercultural encounters, a subject that is becoming
increasingly relevant in the light of recent interest in multicultural societies.
The collection focuses on the methodological possibilities of explanatory
analyses of intercultural communication and explores the relationship between
language and culture. It thus address the question of how participants in
intercultural settings (both in institutional and informal contexts) (re)construct
cultural differences and cultural identities. Empirical analyses go hand-inhand
with the discussion of methodological and theoretical aspects of
interculturality and the relationship of language and culture.
