  • More about Language and Intercultural Communication in Tourism: Critical Perspectives


This collection examines tourism as a site of intercultural communication, using discourse analytic and ethnographic approaches to explore how linguistic and cultural differences are constructed, identities negotiated, and power relations maintained and perpetuated in tourism encounters. It draws on insights from those working across a range of geographic contexts and explores the interplay of these issues in English and other languages and language varieties used in tourism interactions.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 272 pages
Publication date: 25 September 2023
Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd


This comprehensive collection delves into the multifaceted realm of tourism as a catalyst for intercultural communication, leveraging the analytical frameworks provided by the discipline to enhance our understanding of contemporary tourism discourses and the broader societal frameworks of power and ideologies within which they are embedded. The volume employs detailed examinations of discursive nuances in tourism interactions to explore the intricate relationship between culture and interculturality, with a particular emphasis on the notion of culture as an ongoing process or phenomenon enacted or experienced by individuals. By employing discourse analytic and ethnographic methodologies, the book brings together diverse perspectives from residents, hosts, and ethnographers, shedding light on the ways in which linguistic and cultural differences are constructed, identities negotiated, and power relations maintained and perpetuated in tourism encounters.

Drawing upon insights from individuals engaged in diverse geographic contexts, the volume examines the interplay of these issues in both English and other languages and language varieties utilized in tourism interactions. With a strong focus on critical approaches to understanding language and culture, this book holds appeal to students and scholars engaged in intercultural communication, applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, discourse analysis, and tourism studies.
