<br/><br/>"The Routledge Handbook of Language and Intercultural Communication constitutes a comprehensive introduction to the multidisciplinary field of intercultural communication, drawing on the expertise of leading scholars from diverse backgrounds. The Handbook is structured in five sections and covers historical perspectives, core issues and topics, and new debates in the field, with a particular focus on the language dimension. Among the key themes addressed are: the contested nature of culture; the language and culture nexus; the complex relationship between language, culture, identity, agency, power and context; conceptions of intercultural (communicative) competence; English as the principal medium for intercultural communication; and developments in intercultural communication research and praxis, among others. The Handbook includes an introduction and overview by the editor, which provides readers with an indication of the focus of each section and chapter. The Routledge Handbook of Language and Intercultural Communication is an essential resource for advanced undergraduates and postgraduate students of applied linguistics as well as those in related degrees such as applied English language and TESOL/TEFL. It will also be useful for researchers and students in other fields such as speech communication, cross-cultural communication, psychology and sociology, and anyone interested in language and intercultural communication."
