"It is a blessing that bibliography follows each chapter where it can be quite use-ful, rather than being amassed at the end of the book." ("The Delta Intercultural Academy", 1 December 2012) "In sum, "The Handbook of Intercultural Discourse and Communication" promises to be a stimulating resource with the potential to inform and to invite debate, inspiring and equipping readers to ponder recent and enduring issues anew." ("Linguist List", 17 November 2012)"This book provides a rich and diverse sampling of the intercultural work going on from various linguistic perspectives, some authors being more reliant on established intercultural theory and practice and others resisting it."
