Intercultural Communication by Ron Scollon
This newly revised edition is both a lively introduction and practical guide to the main concepts and challenges of intercultural communication.“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 communicationBy 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)
