Intercultural Communication: A Discourse Approach, 3rd Edition

“Overall, the paradigm presented throughout the now three iterations of this book remains a remarkably insightful way to conceptualize factors influencing communication, or, in the authors’ own terms, factors mediating communication.  By focusing on common denominators of all human life (ideologies, forms of discourse, socialization, and face systems) Scollon, Scollon, and Jones successfully arrive at a culture-neutral heuristic that can be used in any instance of interpersonal (and thus, intercultural) communication.”  (Linguist List, 8 January 2013)

"There really is no other book on intercultural communication as deep, rigorous, and innovative as this one.  Already a classic, its third edition ensures that it will remain the key source in the area.  At the same time, it is one of the best books on discourse analysis available today." – James Paul Gee, Mary Lou Fulton Presidential Professor of Literary Studies, Arizona State University

"A true classic, the intellectual wealth of which still remains insufficiently explored. This third edition makes it even more compelling and brings it even closer to the reader." – Jan Blommaert, Tilburg University, The Netherlands
