This fully updated third edition of Introducing Language and
Intercultural Communication provides an accessible, lively
introduction for students who are new to the study of intercultural
communication, with special attention devoted to the language
dimension. Incorporating real-life examples from around the world
and drawing on current research, this text argues against cultural
stereotyping and instead provides students with a skill-building
framework to enhance understanding of the complexities of language
use and intercultural communication in diverse settings. Readers
will learn to become more attuned to power relations and the ways
in which a complex mix of internal and external factors can
influence language choice/attitudes, the intercultural
communication process, and intercultural relationship building.
Features new to this edition include: ‘Pause and reflect’ boxes
and images throughout each chapter that encourage meaning making
and connections between theories and practice Dialogues and student
accounts of intercultural experience that link theories with
real-life applications Discussion questions, journal jumpstarts,
and suggested activities at the end of each chapter to engage
students and provide a more interactive experience New material
that takes account of key social, cultural, and political events
such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the refugee crisis, the climate
emergency, and the rise of populism Updated theoretical constructs
that reflect recent developments in this area of study such as
criticality and reflexivity in intercultural communication
