Cross-Cultural Pragmatics by Anna Wierzbicka
This work challenges the approaches to human interaction based on supposedly universal principles, which fly in the face of reality as experienced by millions of people crossing language boundaries and which cannot help in the practical task of cross-cultural communication.
"The book can be regarded as a recapitulation of results obtained in all former scholarly projects carried by its author[It] is one if the best manuals of widely understood pragmatics and ethnolinguistics of human speech, the more so as the traditoinal grammars and handbooks of linguistics usually leave the ethnography of speech in the background of linguistics analyses."Tomasz Wicherkiewicz in: Linguistics and Oriental Studies from Poznan
