Book review : Leila Monaghan, Jane E Goodman and Jennifer Meta Robinson (eds), A Cultural Approach to Interpersonal Communication: Essential Readings

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Now in its second edition, this valuable primer on interpersonal communication brings together an international array of scholars representing various theoretical perspectives. The readings in this volume have been selected with three goals in mind, namely to provide a theoretical orientation for the ethnographic study of interpersonal communication; to propose a cultural approach that emphasises the importance of sociocultural content for situating any communicative event; and to offer a range of case studies exemplifying the type of research the reader might want to carry out. For this purpose, the editors have compiled 42 chapters, spread across an introduction, five themed sections and two appendices.
