Annotation:	On the basis of a decade of field studies of verbal communication in India, Europe, and the U.S., G. develops an interpretative sociolinguistic approach to processes and strategies in face-to-face encounters, such as code switching, the effects of language shift, the use of prosody, contextualization cues, the use of socio-cultural knowledge, problems of interethnic communication, ethnic styles and political rhetoric.
