Insights from Situated Intercultural and Cross-cultural Domains

291 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This volume explores how metadiscourse shapes communication across cultures and time. Drawing on contemporary and historical evidence, the chapters show how writers and speakers organise discourse, construct identities, and negotiate persuasion in diverse intercultural settings. With analyses ranging from academic and medical writing to business and digital interaction, the book illustrates the subtle ways language bridges cultural differences and supports understanding in a globalised world, offering fresh empirical insights into the pragmatics of communication.
