Biography
Adrian Holliday is Professor of Applied Linguistics & Intercultural Education at Canterbury Christ Church University, UK.
'This extensively revised second edition reprises Holliday’s ground-breaking approach to understanding intercultural communication. Recast in pellucid prose, its wide-ranging grammar of culture remains grounded in acutely observed accounts of personal interaction. Each chapter is now enhanced with a comprehensive, yet synoptic, bang-up-to-date guide to related literature.'
Malcolm N. MacDonald, University of Warwick, UK
'This revised edition of Adrian Holliday’s landmark publication, Understanding Intercultural Communication: Negotiating a Grammar of Culture, develops anew his paradigm-shifting concepts of interculturality and discourses of culture through reflective involvement on the part of the reader. The book will certainly have a galvanizing influence on the study of intercultural communication and language education.'
Iga Lehman, University of Social Sciences, Warsaw, Poland
