Reviews / Votes
This is an interesting and useful collection, original, insightful, and informative. The two main themes of the volume, collaborative work between practitioners from language and the professions, and intercultural or cross-cultural analyses, go together nicely. There is a strong need to have more research and published work in both areas, especially in the first one. In this respect, Professional Communication fits very well the needs of the disciplinary gaps. -- Vijay Bhatia, City University of Hong KongMore details
