Unlike other textbooks which focus only on sociolinguistics this book employs both sociolinguistics and pragmatics. Sociolinguistics explores how language is used in social interactions. There are differences in the way we speak due to where we live, gender, age, race/ethnicity, religious background and our social class and level of education. Pragmatics shows how we speak differently and understand one another in each situation we encounter. Each section of the book includes a brief introduction, a discussion of the topic, references for further research and an extensive collection of activities designed for both in-class usage and homework assignments. The book features numerous examples from a variety of current world cultures.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"[This] is a commendable work by Remillard and William. I highly recommend this valuable book as both a textbook and a self-study resource for undergraduate level pragmatics and sociolinguistics courses." --Peyman G.P. Sabet, Curtin University, LINGUIST List 28.2242 "[Human Communication Across Cultures] is a slim volume, and its goal of covering both pragmatic and sociolinguistic issues in 184 pages is ambitious. In the end, however, the book is a good choice for a course that would whet the appetite of budding sociolinguists." --Laurel Smith Stvan, University of Texas Arlington, Disourse Studies 20(2)<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Vincent Remillard is Professor Emeritus of French at Saint Francis University in Loretto, Pennsylvania, where he served as Chair of the Department of Foreign Languages, Dean of General Education, and Director of International Education.
