It is increasingly important in our globalised world for people to successfully manage interpersonal relationships. This is the first book to tackle this vital topic, by taking an interdisciplinary approach to exploring the process of relating across cultures. Drawing together key concepts from politeness theory, intercultural communication, and cross-cultural/intercultural psychology, it provides a robust framework for analysing and understanding intercultural encounters. It explores the ways in which individuals make judgements about others, deal with offence and conflict, maintain smooth relations, and build new relationships. These processes are explained conceptually and illustrated extensively with authentic intercultural examples and empirical data. With accessible explanations and follow-up activities, it will appeal not only to academics working in the areas of intercultural communication, pragmatic theory, conflict research and other related academic disciplines, but also to students of these topics, as well as professionals such as intercultural trainers and those working in the third sector.

This state-of-the-art paper discusses common approaches to the assessment of pragmatic competence. Two approaches have dominated the assessment practice in the field of second language (L2) pragmatics. One approach, rooted in the tradition of contrastive pragmatics, involves comparing and contrasting L2 learners’ pragmalinguistic forms with those of native speakers to determine whether L2 forms approximate native speaker forms. The other approach, rooted in the tradition of performance-based assessment, involves using a rating scale to evaluate L2 pragmatic performance based on multiple criteria (e.g., clarity of intention, formality level of expressions, and interaction abilities). Focusing on the area of speech act assessment, this paper presents an overview of these two approaches, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages. By doing so, the paper intends to illustrate the interface between contrastive pragmatics and L2 pragmatics. The paper concludes with critical insights in terms of what is missing in these approaches under the current trend of globalization and intercultural communication.
