Combining perspectives from discourse analysis and sociolinguistics, the second edition of this popular textbook provides students with an up-to-date overview of the field of intercultural communication. Ingrid Piller explains communication in context using two main approaches. The first treats cultural identity, difference and similarity as discursive constructions. The second, informed by bilingualism studies, highlights the use and prestige of different languages and language varieties as well as the varying access that speakers have to them.

Essay from the year 2006 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1,5, University of Hildesheim (Englische Sprache und Didaktik), language: English, abstract: Therefore, intercultural communication competence has become a theme which concerns everybody and which will even become more and more important in our world of globalization. In order to avoid misunderstandings or even hostile attitudes ending up in conflicts, in order to live peacefully in the “global village” and be able to solve the growing number of global problems which do not stop at national borders, the ability to understand people from different cultures and to communicate competently with them has taken on an extreme urgency. However, achieving this aim sounds easier than it is. To communicate competently with people from other cultures, it is not enough to speak the same language as they do. Even though two people speak the same language it is possible that they do not understand each other. This thesis becomes obvious in the following critical incident: A Japanese negotiating with a German business partner says that the deal will be difficult. When the German asks how his company can help to solve the problem, the Japanese is confused. While the Japanese meant that the deal is off, the German thought there were only some obstacles which can be overcome. This phenomenon can be explained due to the fact that both speakers know the linguistic rules of the language such as grammar and vocabulary, but they are not aware of the cultural norms, attitudes and behavior of their communication partner. They have linguistic competence, but no intercultural communication competence. This lack of intercultural communication competence and the ignorance of cultural differences might cause many misunderstandings. In order to understand the sources of misunderstandings and to be aware of intercultural communication problems, it is necessary to know and to understand the concept of communication. Since it is not possible to transmit messages directly from one person’s brain to that of another person, we have to put our ideas into codes that can be transmitted. Consequently, communication can be described as an exchange of messages between a sender and a receiver. In this process the sender encodes the message, which means that he produces a set of symbols and the receiver has to decode the message, which means that he tries to understand the meaning of the symbols by interpreting or making sense of them.

"Recent events have highlighted, once again, the global interconnectedness of nations and people and underscored the need for intercultural communication knowledge and skills. For example, the worldwide spread of the COVID-19 virus disrupted the movement of people and goods and caused many countries to tighten their borders [the European Union "close[d] off a region encompassing at least 26 countries and more than 400 million people," and heightened intercultural tensions-as leaders of the two most powerful countries, China and the United States, traded insults and blamed each other for the social and economic devastation. We start with this focus on the Coronavirus as you may have been impacted by it. Your university or college may have moved classes online in the Spring of 2020 and you may know someone who has contracted it. Our cultures shape how we respond to these crisis situations. Do we follow the directives of the government officials? Or do we do what we want? Do we think about others? Or is it everyone for him/herself? After being asked to stay home and avoid contact with others, Katie Williams tweeted "I just went to a crowded Red Robin...It was delicious, and I took my sweet time eating my meal. Because this is America. And I'll do what I want."2 In contrast, South Koreans and Chinese tended to follow their governments' instructions, implemented by location tracking that measured and enforced stay-at-home directives. Do these cultural differences help explain why some countries experienced more fatalities and infections from the virus than others? As we work our way through this pandemic and the many more that will follow over the course of your lifetime, think about how cultural differences influence how different cultures respond to these crises. The virus has also accelerated call for reducing globalization. Although the United States has already withdrawn from some trade agreements and renegotiated others, the need for medical equipment intensified calls for more manufacturing in the U.S. What will happen to globalization? Will we move more toward closing borders or will we reach out and be more engaged with the world? Natural disasters may also affect intercultural communication. Climate change may bring about significant changes that require us to work with others around the world. Droughts, earthquakes, hurricanes, typhoons, tsunamis, and other natural disasters may increase the need for intercultural cooperation to help those in need. Social media presents other intercultural challenges. The 2020 video of another unarmed black man, George Floyd, killed by a white Minneapolis policeman went viral, leading to days of national and worldwide protests against racial inequality and some hope for change. On the other hand, social media have also been used to foment division and dissension. Thus, our use of social media can build bridges to other cultures or reinforce walls between them. How can we use our intercultural skills to help enrich our lives and the lives of those around us? As the world changes, how important is it for us to understand the past? Should we focus on culture-specific information? Or should we strive to develop more universal rules? How can anyone understand every culture around the world? Or every language? We wrote this book to shed light on these and many other questions about intercultural communication. As in our earlier books, we have tried to use information from a variety of approaches, drawing from social psychological approaches as well as from ethnographic studies and more recent critical media studies. However, the emphasis in this book is on the practical, experiential nature of intercultural communication. We still acknowledge that there are no easy answers to many intercultural situations. However, we attempt to give solid, practical guidelines, while noting the complexity of the task facing the student of intercultural communication.
