Solidly grounded in discourse analysis and sociolinguistics, clearly and accessibly written and compellingly argued, it revives a field not always well served by its scholars, and we are now at last in a position to see intercultural communication for what it is: a historically situated and politically sensitive complex of communication modes, analysis of which requires attention to the smallest details as well as to the biggest things in the world - globalization processes.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJan Blommaert, Tilburg University\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCombining discourse analytic and sociolinguistic perspectives, this introduction provides students with a comprehensive, up-to-date and critical overview of the field of intercultural communication.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIngrid Piller explains communication in context using two main approaches.
