Annotation

Intercultural communication, or the confrontation of one language-culture link with another, has become quite a popular field recently. It was not until the 1960s, with Dell Hymes’ seminal works on the ethnography of speaking, that linguistics was provided with a systematic methodology that could account for the interdependence of language, speech, communication and culture. In addition to linguistic pragmatics, contributing disciplines include communication science, sociology, psychology, and anthropology.
