Extract

A panel at the 1998 International Pragmatics Conference in Reims provided the impetus for the book Telephone calls: Unity and diversity in conversational structure across languages and cultures, edited by Kang Kwong Luke and Theodossia-Soula Pavlidou. Six of its chapters were first presented at that panel. The book covers several languages, including Cantonese, Danish, English, German, Greek, Japanese, Korean, and Persian.
