Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Culture and Language at Crossed Purposes unpacks the interpretive problems of colonial treaty-making and uses them to illuminate canonical works from the period. Classic American literature, Jerome McGann argues, is haunted by the betrayal of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Indian treaties—“a stunned memory preserved in the negative spaces of the treaty records.” A noted scholar of the “textual conditions” of literature, McGann investigates canonical works from the colonial period, including the Arbella sermon and key writings of William Bradford, John Winthrop, Anne Bradstreet, Cotton Mather’s Magnalia, Benjamin Franklin’s celebrated treaty folios and Autobiography, and Thomas Jefferson’s Notes on the State of Virginia. These are highly practical, purpose-driven works—the record of Enlightenment dreams put to the severe test of dangerous conditions. McGann suggests that the treaty-makers never doubted the unsettled character of what they were prosecuting, and a similar conflicted ethos pervades these works. Like the treaty records, they deliberately test themselves against stringent measures of truth and accomplishment and show a distinctive consciousness of their limits and failures. McGann’s book is ultimately a reminder of the public importance of truth and memory—the vocational commitments of humanist scholars and educators.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Translated texts are often either uncritically consumed by readers, teacher, and scholars or seen to represent an ineluctable loss, a diminishing of original texts. Translation, however, is a cultural practice, influenced also by social and political imperatives, which can open more doors than it closes. The essays in this book show how the act of translation, when vigilantly and critically attended to, becomes a means for active interrogation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to present the results of research in the sphere of business language and culture, as well as the experience of pedagogical staff and practitioners concerned with broadly understood business. The highly complex nature of contemporary business environment, approached from both the theoretical and practical standpoint, does not cease to prove that research into business studies cannot be dissociated from the cultural and linguistic context. The chapters included in this book were contributed by academics and practitioners alike, which offers a balanced approach to the topic and ensures high levels of diversity together with an undeniable homogeneity. They were gathered with a view to show various aspects of business language, perceived both as a medium of communication and as a subject of research and teaching. They are concerned with business culture as well, including business ethics and representations of business in popular culture. Owing to its multidisciplinary approach, the book presents a roadmap towards successful functioning in business settings, highlighting such issues as education for business purposes, the study of language used in business contexts, the aspects of cross-cultural communication, as well as ethical behaviour based upon different values in multicultural business environments. Given its multifarious character, the book surely appeals not only to academics, but also to the interested laymen and students who wish to expand their knowledge of business studies and related phenomena.

Book excerpt: A MICHIGAN TEACHER TRAINING title Teachers are often in the forefront of today’s cross-cultural contact, whether in the language classroom or in the K–12 or university/college classroom, but they are not always prepared to handle the various issues that can arise in terms of cross-cultural communication. The intent of this book is to make education in cross-cultural awareness accessible to a broad range of teachers working in a variety of educational settings. Crossing Cultures in the Language Classroom attempts to balance theory and practice for pre-service and in-service teachers in general education programs or in ESL/EFL, bilingual, and foreign language teacher training programs, as well as cross-cultural awareness workshops. This book is unique in that it combines theory with a wide range of experiential activities and projects designed to actively engage users in the process of understanding different aspects of cross-cultural awareness. The goals of the book are to help readers: expand cultural awareness of one’s own culture and that of others achieve a deeper understanding of what culture is and the relationship between culture and language acquire the ability to observe behaviors in order to draw conclusions based on observation rather than preconceptions understand and implement observations of cultural similarities and differences develop an attitude of tolerance toward cultural differences and move away from the “single story.” The new edition has been thoroughly updated and includes a Suggested Projects section in each chapter. This section provides opportunities for users of the text to explore in greater depth an area and topic of interest. It also includes even more Critical Incidents--brief descriptions of events that depict some element or elements of cultural differences, miscommunication, or culture clash. Critical Incidents develop users’ ability to analyze and understand how multiple perspectives of the same situation are rooted in differing culturally influenced beliefs, behaviors, norms of interaction, and worldviews.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses about the language, culture, and communication and interaction among people having diverse and unique cultural backgrounds across the world. By this book, the readers gain awareness of English language, other languages of different countries, and cultural differences or similarities as well. Then, it also develops confidence in communicating and interacting with the native speakers of English and the people of English speaking countries and other people from different cultures as well. ——— In today’s world, cross-cultural communication is still imperative regardless of the technological communication advancement. No technology can replace cross-cultural communication in its basic and natural form involving face-to-face communication. This book vol. 2 offers a broader and comprehensive contents and excellent knowledge on this subject as well. It is a must read. — Prof. Deddy Mulyana, M.A., Ph.D. Faculty of Communication Sciences Padjadjaran University Building up the theory on the interconnection among languages, cultures, and societies, this book explores the potential benefits as well as potential problems from (not) understanding the connections. Broad definitions of culture and hence cross-cultural communication are presented although some micro-culture settings are only discussed briefly. Interestingly, it argues that sufficient understanding of different cultures will mostly guarantee language users to have successful cross-cultural communication. This book provides good coverage of forms of cross-cultural communication, enriched with examples from different settings of communication events in different cultures. Not only is it a good start for readers with no prior knowledge of cross-cultural concepts, but it is also relevant to be used by readers with advanced knowledge in the area. — E. Aminudin Aziz Professor of Linguistics, Indonesia University of Education and Head, Agency of Language Development and Cultivation, Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology, Rep. of Indonesia In times of globalization and rapid and massive development of internet, the world now becomes smaller and borderless. People from diverse countries and cultures meet, interact and communicate intensively and extensively due to many reasons, purposes, and agendas. This book offers abandon of knowledge, understandings, and insights regarding to cross-cultural communication and interaction. This book is more complex, comprehensive, in terms of contents, volume. elaboration and explanation, and illustration and detail as well. — Amrin Sargih, M.A., Ph.D. Professor of Linguistics, Faculty of Languages and Arts of State University of Medan Buku persembahan penerbit PrenadaMediaGroup #Kencana

Emphasis is placed on the importance of studying different cultural groups and language to arrive at a better understanding of language development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fully revised edition of the seminal classic This classic study was originally written by Edward Stewart in 1972 and has become a seminal work in the field of intercultural relations. In this edition, Stewart and Milton J. Bennett have greatly expanded the analysis of American cultural patterns by introducing new cross-cultural comparisons and drawing on recent reseach on value systems, perception psychology, cultural anthropology, and intercultural communication. Beginning with a discussion of the issues relative to contact between people of different cultures, the authors examine the nature of cultural assumptions and values as a framework for cross-cultural analysis. They then analyze the human perceptual process, consider the influence of language on culture, and discuss nonverbal behavior. Central to the book is an analysis of American culture constructed along four dimentions: form of activity, form of social relations, perceptions of the world, and perception of the self. American cultural traits are isolated out, analyzed, and compared with parallel characteristics of other cultures. Finally, the cultural dimentions of communication and their implications for cross-cultural interaction are examined.

Book excerpt: The relationship between landscape and culture seen through language is an exciting and increasingly explored area. This ground-breaking book contributes to the linguistic examination of both cross-cultural variation and unifying elements in geographical categorization. The study focuses on the contrastive lexical semantics of certain landscape words in a number of languages. The aim is to show how geographical vocabulary sheds light on the culturally and historically shaped ways people see and think about the land around them. Notably, the study presents landscape concepts as anchored in a human-centred perspective, based on our cognition, vision, and experience in places. The Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM) approach allows an analysis of meaning which is both fine-grained and transparent. The book is aimed, first of all, at scholars and students of linguistics. Yet it will also be of interest to researchers in geography, environmental studies, anthropology, cultural studies, Australian Studies, and Australian Aboriginal Studies because of the book’s cultural take.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the dialectics between spatio-organisational gaps and local contexts that characterise cross-border investments. "Interspatial" investments – be it mergers & acquisitions (M&A) or greenfield investments – are usually characterised by what is referred to as "otherness", i.e. organisational and cultural distances of the firms involved in relation to their regional contexts. At the same time, economic, political and socio-cultural linkages are decisive for attracting cross-border investments to regions and for providing firms with conditions supportive of their market success. As a consequence of being locked into complex structures of proximities, cross-border investments are situated in contested terrain. This terrain triggers learning processes in both regional actors and investors, which can result in the convergence of mindsets and organisational issues. This book is unique in that it combines interspace (defined as the distance between the new owner and the cross-border venture), place (the target region), interpretation (perception and understanding of the investment by the actors involved) and context (institutions, actor networks and interaction), thus offering better understanding of recent processes of globalisation. Crossing disciplinary boundaries by integrating economic geography and management studies, the volume adopts an innovative and spatially informed perspective on foreign direct investments (FDI). This perspective will be of great value to scholars, students and practitioners. The volume is inventive in its approach in that it offers fresh readings from interdisciplinary theoretical approaches and combines these with valuable empirical insights from developed as well as Emerging Economies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CROSS CULTURAL COMMUNICATION: Understanding Language and culture for global communication and interaction is seemingly typical in that it encompasses the English language, communication, and culture across the world. It gives the readers opportunities to recognize common information particularly English language for communication and interaction in a global setting. By this book, the readers gain awareness of English language, other languages of different countries and cultural differences or similarities as well. Then, it also develops confidence in communicating and interacting with the native speakers of English and the people of English speaking countries and other people from different culture as well. CROSS CULTURAL COMMUNICATION: Understanding Language and culture for global communication and interaction was written because it is a fact that language and cultural differences often create and lead to misunderstanding particularly among people from different countries and consequently the purposes of communication are not achieved. Then, the intensive and extensive misunderstanding during communication and interaction are assumed to be able to lead a “conflict” among them. It is a fact that that the acquisition of skills for culturally different patterns of communication and interaction become important to whoever want to communicate with people from different language and culture. CROSS CULTURAL COMMUNICATION: Understanding Language and culture for global communication and interaction, frankly speaking provides materials mostly about English language and English cultures pattern but it does not mean that the readers are not suggested to cope and copy English people and culture when communicating and interacting. The use of a certain communication and cultural ways depends on context in terms of time, situation, and place. This book actually convinces the readers that communication and interaction, language and culture cannot be separated among others. They are as a system working together to create meaning. Then, it is believed that the effective communication (mostly a cross-cultural communication) depends on both how one understand the language and the culture.
