To date, however, few studies have addressed this need. Now, Oral and Written Communication answers this need by offering illuminating discussions that explore the diversity and depth of oral and written communication across time and cultures. Pooling the talents of a richly diverse, international team of contributors, this impressive volume presents an array of essays that span prehistory to issues that can easily be applied to present-day communication concerns. All contributions focus on a central concern: how meaning is conceived and created between speaker and audience within a special context." ER -
