Communication Strategies Psycholinguistic and Sociolinguistic Perspect Description

Describes the ways in which people, especially non-native speakers, seek to express themselves or understand what someone else is saying or writing. The studies presented in this text adopt both psycholinguistic and sociolinguistic perspectives. They add fresh dimensions to the study of communication strategies, showing how the concept can usefully be extended beyond the realm of second language acquisition and use, and pointing out the commonalities in many domains of language behaviour.
