	TheEdge: Intercultural Communication via E-mail Debate by Guo Ming Chen
		Intercultural communication as a field of study investigates the dynamics of interaction among persons of differing ethnic or national origin.
		Intercultural communication scholars will be needed to smooth the transition to bi-cultural, bi-dialectal classrooms, to multinational boardrooms, to multiethnic neighborhoods, and to gender and ethnic sensitivity on the part of professionals and service providers.
		These trends have combined to provide a foundation for the indispensability of intercultural communication competence in the upcoming global society in which we are required to demonstrate "tolerance for differences and mutual respect among cultures as a mark of enlightened national and global citizenship" in individual, social, business, educational, and political institutions levels (Belay, 1993).

	Intercultural Business Communication (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
		Since intercultural communication includes not only linguistic elements (grammar, syntax, pronunciation) but also interactional competence (turn taking, negotiating, opening or closing a conversation), as well as the sociocultural aspects of speakers, it is often hard for language teachers or trainers to emphasize the elements that are important.
		Intercultural business communication often includes economic topics, and businessmen in different cultures need to become sensitive to the multiplicity of cultural values and to improve the communication skills that could directly lead to successful negotiations with other corporations.
		Also, communication skills considering high and low context cultures, directness of speech, temporal and spatial concepts that are different cross-culturally can be essential factors not only for businessmen but for any person who faces intercultural communication.

	PHAROS - Boeken
		The intercultural paradox asks for clarification on three levels: (1) The intercultural ideology is influencing the inner self of humans because of the pressure the ideology produces on having a cultural identity.
		Communicative conditions are furthermore the right to speak for oneself in conversation and the right of everyone to self-determination, which is to be seen from the perspective that this counts for everyone.
		The actual functioning and the effect of the intercultural ideology is made plausible in focus groups with the help of reflection on an analytical frame, in which the two variations of the intercultural ideology and the provisional alternative were introduced.

	TheEdge: Intercultural Computer-Mediated Communication by William Hart
		Mass communication refers to a specific utilization of medium...In the typology of human communication, 'media' should not be relegated solely to the category 'mass communication,' nor should it be excluded from the other categories: interpersonal communication, group communication, and public communication (p.
		According to the typology, comparative mass communication and international communication differ from intercultural communication and cross-cultural communication "in that the channel of communication is mediated, not interpersonal" (Asante and Gudykunst, 1989, p.9).
		The use of the traditional typology of communication as one of the dimensions in the Gudykunst typology leads to certain areas of study being "overlooked" and "not readily incorporated" into the study of intercultural communication.

	Haptics - a non verbal barrier to intercultural communication
		In intercultural communication there are references to the importance of learning the tradition and behavioral patterns of other cultures, but discussions are rare of the importance of non verbal communication and how lack of understanding or misunderstanding of non verbal messages can become a barrier to communication.
		Though verbal communication is initially learnt by imitation of parents and/or other caretakers, it is considered natural that the formal rules are taught in schools and that in order to learn the verbal language of another culture it is necessary to study vocabulary and grammar.
		In order to overcome the barriers created by misinterpretation of haptic codes in intercultural communication it is necessary to realize that what seems instinctual is really learned, culturally specific code and with that knowledge as a base to increase awareness of the potentials for miscommunications.

	Cross-cultural communication - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cross-cultural communication (also frequently referred to as intercultural communication) is a field of study that looks at how people from differing cultural backgrounds endeavour to communicate.
		Cross-cultural communication tries to bring together such relatively unrelated areas as cultural anthropology and established areas of communication.
		The main theories for cross-cultural communication are based on the work done looking at value differences (or Cultural dimensions) among cultures, especially the works of Edward T. Hall, Geert Hofstede, Harry C. Triandis, Fons Trompenaars and more recently Shalom Schwartz.

	Intercultural Communication in Erfurt Electronic Studies in English
		Explanations of communication problems in ICC are, therefore, first and foremost always specific to the situation and are to be sought on the basis of empirical ethnographic observations.
		Directly because the current discussion in foreign language didactics still primarily sees "intercultural communication" as being equivalent to "area studies", there is considerable need for didactic studies which seek to evaluate and apply the insights gained from research on intercultural communication to teaching methods and materials.
		Because the research into conceptualising intercultural competence stands in a markedly subject-specific discussion context which is directed to social-psychology, studies on this theme will only be published in EESE when they concern the problems of communicative inequality in the interaction and the processes of their successful management.

		It is ironic that I am addressing you today on June 16th about Intercultural Communication and the breakdown of communication between people or groups who fail to understand each other's culture.
		Communication is the transfer of a message from one person to another, so that it is understood, and hopefully, so that it invokes a response.
		It is inevitable that communication across cultural boundaries will break down unless people can recognize their ethnocentrism and take action to overcome it.

	Intercultural Development Communication (ICA)
		Intercultural communication research explores interpersonal dynamics across persons from different cultural contexts.
		Just as intercultural and international communication can be seen as manifest in heterophilous relations, development communication typically involves the strategic application of communication processes and technologies by one group through an intervention intended to benefit another social group.
		These projects designed to use communication for development may be produced by bilateral, multilateral or nongovernmental development institutions, or by less formally based social movement organizations, advocacy groups or local communities.

		All of these situations involve contact and communication between different cultures: the host culture, already existing ethnic communities, and the new community, and the potential for misunderstanding, racism and ethnically based violence.

	Intercultural Communication Ethics
		Perhaps one of the biggest debates in the field of intercultural communication is whether we can apply the same ethical dimensions or framework to all cultures, or whether each culture has its own standard.
		Most intercultural texts have some framework of intercultural ethics (be a good listener, describe instead of judging, etc.)—though, surprisingly, many books in diffusion of innovation, which talks about spreading change through a culture, or managing cultural differences in business say little or nothing about ethics!
		When intercultural texts present such list, they are assuming, at least inherently, that there is some universal ethic for all intercultural communicators.
