Cross-Cultural and Intercultural Communication

Cross-Cultural and Intercultural Communication

<p>Derived from the best-selling <b>Handbook of International and Intercultural Communication, Second Edition, </b>this economically priced paperback version contains only the chapters dealing with cross-cultural and intercultural communication. <b>Cross-Cultural and Intercultural Communication </b>provides an extensive overview of cross-cultural variations in communication and expands upon the <b>Handbook</b> by viewing intercultural communication in terms of intergroup communication. </p> <p>Intercultural communication is a relatively new area of research in the communication discipline but has made tremendous progress in recent years. The book maintains that understanding cross-cultural communication is a prerequisite to understanding intercultural communication. Part One of the book discusses cross-cultural communication―the comparison of communication across cultures―and Part Two examines intercultural communication―the communication between people from different cultures. Each part begins with an introduction, includes a chapter on theory, and ends with a chapter on issues. </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
