The first book-length work on intercultural pragmatics. Analyzes how language systems are used in social encounters between speakers who have different first languages and cultures, yet communicate in a common language. Boldly combines the pragmatic view of cooperation with the cognitive view of egocentrism in order to incorporate emerging features of communication.
