Cultures in Conversation introduces readers to the ethnographic
study of intercultural and social interactions through the analysis
of conversations in which different cultural orientations are
operating. Author Donal Carbaugh presents his original research on
conversation practices in Britain, Finland, Russia, Blackfeet
County, and the United States, demonstrating how each culture is
distinctive in its communication codes, particularly in its use of
symbolic meanings, forms, norms, and motivational themes. Examining
conversation in this way demonstrates how cultural lives are active
in conversations and shows how conversation is a principle medium
for the coding of selves, social relationships, and societies.
Representing 20 years of research, this text offers unique insights
into the social interaction within distinct cultures. It makes a
significant contribution to communication scholarship, and will be
illuminating reading in cultural communication, language and social
interaction, and linguistics courses. In addition, it invites
others to examine ethnographic inquiry as a way of studying
intercultural conversations in particular, and communication
practices in general.
