| Summary: | "This easy-to-use handbook is an essential resource for anyone who needs to write English correspondence and other documents for an international business audience. In an engaging, accessible style it integrates the theory and controversies of intercultural communication with the practical skills of writing and editing English for those who read it as a second language." "The book emphasizes principles of simplicity and clarity, proper etiquette, cultural sensitivity, appropriate layout and typography and more, and thus will increase the chances that texts prepared by native English speakers will be properly understood by non-native speakers. Equally useful for students and professionals, The Elements of International English Style updates traditional advice with new insights into "e-mail culture," and is filled with realistic examples, problems, and projects."--BOOK JACKET. |
