Through analyzing dyadic intercultural conversations, the study investigates the ways in which culturally divergent conversationalists manage their organizational and interpersonal aspects of the unfolding conversations. The study focuses on five features of conversational interaction - disagreements, compliments and compliment responses, simultaneous talk, discourse topic management and discourse information structure - where cultural values and attitudes are particularly evident. For each of the features, hypotheses are formulated and tested through the detailed analysis of twenty-five intercultural conversations. This quantitative analysis is then followed by qualitative analysis of excerpts from the conversations to show the ways in which conversational interaction is performed and negotiated. The study shows in very revealing ways that intercultural conversations involve a complex, interactive and collaborative process of communication between the participants. 410 0$aPragmatics & beyond ;$vnew ser. 118 606 $aIntercultural communication$zChina$zHong Kong 606 $aLANGUAGE ARTS & DISCIPLINES$2bisac 606 $aTranslating & Interpreting$2bisac 615 0$aIntercultural communication 615 7$aLANGUAGE ARTS & DISCIPLINES 615 7$aTranslating & Interpreting 676 $a303.48/2 700 $aCheng$b Winnie$0477870 801 0$bPQKB 801 2$bAzTeS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820361403321 996 $aIntercultural conversation$9241299 997 $aUNINA
