This book reflects the vigorous interest in studies of business discourses and cultures emerging from various Asian communities. It also records the diversity of methodological approaches ontological perspectives and topics characterising a number of studies conducted by Asian and Western scholars on cultural and linguistic strategies and preferences identifiable in Asian or AsianWestern business interactions. The volume is structured in two parts including chapters that address linguistic and textual issues Part I and cultural and pragmatic issues Part II of Asian business discourses. Even though the different domains identified linguistic textual pragmatic and cultural have been combined to provide useful organising labels they remain strictly interrelated as their occurrence and variation have significant implications on one another.
