Whenever and wherever people communicate, they engage with intricate and often unnoticed systems of symbols, meanings, premises, and rules that govern communicative behavior, known as speech codes. Building upon three decades of cultural communication research, this groundbreaking volume presents a fresh collection of original, fieldwork-based case studies that explore speech codes in both online and offline contexts across the globe. Most notably, Contending with Codes in a World of Difference concludes with a thoroughly updated, expanded, and revitalized version of speech codes theory, perfectly aligned with contemporary studies of communication and culture. Co-edited by Dr. Gerry Philipsen, the pioneering figure behind speech codes theory, and Dr. Tabitha Hart, a fellow speech codes scholar, this edited collection brims with examples, narratives, and transcripts that demonstrate how to identify speech codes within a cultural landscape, decipher their significance for local culture, navigate situations where multiple speech codes coexist, and witness the ways in which individuals resist, challenge, negotiate, or reconcile conflicting speech codes. Providing theoretical and methodological insights for researchers and practical guidance for students, practitioners, and laypersons alike, this book is indispensable for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of the art of contending with speech codes in a world of diversity.
