'Sharifian and Jamarani have assembled a stellar group of scholars writing on the cutting edge of research that synthesizes the combined forces of language, culture, identity, and social media.' - R.S. Zaharna, American University, USA 'Sharifian and Jamarani succeed in presenting a snapshot of current research, and in doing so, reflect the complexity surrounding the issue of intercultural communication, both its scholarly tradition and modern interpretations..While the volume is clearly of interest to academics and students of linguistics or language pedagogy, it is written with accessible clarity that would also allow non- experts in the field to draw a deeper understanding of the main issues.' - Gail AlHafidh, Higher Colleges of Technology
