"Overall, the paradigm presented throughout the now threeiterations of this book remains a remarkably insightful way toconceptualize factors influencing communication, or, in theauthors' own terms, factors mediating communication. Byfocusing on common denominators of all human life (ideologies,forms of discourse, socialization, and face systems) Scollon,Scollon, and Jones successfully arrive at a culture-neutralheuristic that can be used in any instance of interpersonal (andthus, intercultural) communication." (LinguistList, 8 January 2013) "There really is no other book on intercultural communication asdeep, rigorous, and innovative as this one. Already aclassic, its third edition ensures that it will remain the keysource in the area. At the same time, it is one of the bestbooks on discourse analysis available today." - James PaulGee, Mary Lou Fulton Presidential Professor of Literary Studies,Arizona State University "A true classic, the intellectual wealth of which still remainsinsufficiently explored. This third edition makes it even morecompelling and brings it even closer to the reader." - JanBlommaert, Tilburg University, The Netherlands
