Human Communication across Cultures is a highly interactive
textbook and workbook on how human communication takes place.
Unlike other textbooks which focus only on sociolinguistics this
book employs both sociolinguistics and pragmatics. Sociolinguistics
explores how language is used in social interactions. There are
differences in the way we speak due to where we live, gender, age,
race/ethnicity, religious background and our social class and level
of education. Pragmatics shows how we speak differently and
understand one another in each situation we encounter. Each section
of the book includes a brief introduction, a discussion of the
topic, references for further research and an extensive collection
of activities designed for both in-class usage and homework
assignments. The book features numerous examples from a variety of
current world cultures.
