Outstanding study of communication and culture
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This book makes an outstanding contribution to the study of cultural and cross-cultural communication. It is one of the very few books out there which does a detailed analysis of communicative practices in four different cultures - Russia, Finland, U.S.A., and Blackfeet American Indian. The author draws on numerous examples of naturally occurring speech gathered from his many fine ethnographic studies. Carbaugh demonstrates how the premises which guide communication can be discovered, described, and interpreted in such a way as to reveal how people create a sense of shared cultural identity. No other author has so clearly articulated the intersection of communication and culture.
