Language and Culture (BAAL 7) by David Graddol

These papers from the 24th Annual Meeting of BAAL (University of Durham, September 1991), have been selected for the diversity of perspective which they offer on the theme of language and culture, and on the way in which they reflect current thinking on the interdependence of language use and situational context.
