'Miscommunication' and Problematic Talk Book

Language use and communication are pervasively and even intrinsically flawed, partial and problematic - this is the contention of `Miscommunication' and Problematic Talk, which explores failures in interpersonal communication. Rather than approaching communication in terms of competence, effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction, the interdisciplinary contributors reassess key social contexts in terms of miscommunication rather than communication, failure rather than success. They provide an integrative overview of research in defined social contexts, highlighting particular social groups, social situations and communicative modes. The elderly, children, non-native speakers, medical personnel and the disabled are among those discussed.Read More
