The Role of Language in Intercultural Communication

During the course, you will learn more about intercultural communication, in particular its linguistic aspects. Other important themes are, for example, communicative norms and communicative biases.
This is a distance learning course offered in collaboration between the University of Helsinki, the University of Iceland, the University of Copenhagen and Stockholm University.
