Review:
a must for those interested in language and culture
The articles contained in this volume give a good overview about the main questions in the field of cross-cultural communication as well as language and culture. Particularly interesting is Platt's article about different communicative strategies in English-speaking Asian speech communities and Verschueren's paper about English as an object and medium of misunderstanding.
