INDEX

本书是跨文化交际学领域发展进程中最重要的学术著作之一，影响深远。它超越了以前简单的文化对比研究方式，首次将跨文化研究建立在理论分析的基础上，使人们开始关注文化现象背后的原因和本质。两位作者还引入了文化差异纬度这一概念，提出同一国家或民族文化内存在多样性的可能。
原书自出版以来已经多次修订，一直广受好评。这次引进的第四版与时俱进，大幅修订原有内容，添加了更多新颖的理论依据，可以帮助读者从多角度理解跨文化交际学，是从事跨文化交际研究不可多得的理论指南。
本书内容为英文翻译。

本书整合跨文化交际的基本过程和现有的理论，试图为刚入门的学生及感兴趣的学者提供学术上的介绍、重要理论的综述以及跨文化交际在人际交流上的应用。本书首先考察跨文化交际的基本过程，然后与实际应用相结合，从而在不同文化、背景、交流模式的人们中间实现相互理解，这对于像美国这样的多元文化社会尤为重要，但本书对理论的应用却是超越种族差异的。随着世界的现代化和全球化，不论是在国内还是国外，跨文化的交流越来越多，本书紧跟潮流，及时吐垢纳新。第三版作了较大的扩展，从而可以全面涵盖核心的概念和观点；第四版在学术上更扎实，覆盖面更广，更多地关注全球问题。
