Caracteristici
- An easy-to-read conversational style. Students have repeatedly praised the clear and readable qualities of the text. The authors have tried, in this and previous editions, to assure that students have an “easy read” as they access the book’s ideas.
- A healthy blend of the practical and the theoretical provides both a thorough grounding in the conceptual ideas and an applied orientation that makes those ideas tangible.
- "Culture Connections" boxes, updated throughout the text, give students a chance to apply what they have learned to real-world examples.
- A focus on the significance and importance of cultural patterns. Because cultural patterns provide the underlying set of assumptions for cultural and intercultural communication, the focus on cultural patterns as the lens through which all interactions are interpreted is thoroughly explored in Chapters 4 and 5 (and then developed in subsequent chapters).
- A chapter on cultural identity and the role of cultural biases (Ch. 6), includes discussion of ethnocentrism, stereotyping, prejudice, discrimination, and racism.
- Coverage of communication accommodation theory, anxiety/uncertainty management theory, expectancy violations theory, conversational constraints, and interpersonal dialectics provide a broad range of theoretical concepts.
- Emphasis on intercultural relationships and inclusion of important non-Western concepts provide a well-rounded, comprehensive discussion for students.
- Expanded discussion of many topics—including cultural biases, intercultural contact, adaptation, cultural patterns, Hofstede's value dimensions, cultural variations in persuasion, Ebonics, intercultural conflict, and the contexts of intercultural communication—offer students the most current information available in an even more readable format.
Caracteristici noi
- New coverage of how current technologies that affect intercultural communication better prepare students to be successful communicators today.
- A substantial revision of the material on cultural patterns (chapters 4 and 5) includes major updates and additions to Geert Hofstede’s landmark research on cultural dimensions, as well as a new taxonomy from the GLOBE researchers
- Over 50% new “Culture Connections” boxes provide students the opportunity to relate to fundamental concepts of intercultural competence.
- Updates to The Effects of Code Usage in Intercultural Communication (Ch.9) reflect current ideas about contrastive rhetoric and the pragmatics of language use.
- Updates to Episodes, Contexts, and Intercultural Interactions (Ch.11) address contemporary issues related tothe health care, education, and business contexts.
- New design and visual program includes improved graphic elements to support reader interest and involvement. Color is used to “catch the eye” and direct attention to various ideas.
