"Silence and Pauses" nehmen unterschiedliche Stellenwerte in verschiedenen Kulturen ein und können so eine Barriere in der interkulturellen Kommunikation darstellen. Hier wird speziell der Gebrauch von Pausen in japanischer und anglo-amerikanischer Kommunikation betrachtet, wobei auf unterschiedlichen Einsatz, Länge und Deutung von Pausen fokusiert wird. Zuletzt folgt eine Diskussion zu den Konsequenzen und Problemen, die abweichende kulturelle Definitionen von Stille mit sich bringen können.

How and why is silence used interculturally? Approaching the phenomenon of silence from multiple perspectives, this book shows how silence is used, perceived and at times misinterpreted in intercultural communication. Using a model of key aspects of silence in communication linguistic, cognitive and sociopsychological and fundamental levels of social organization individual, situational and sociocultural - the book explores the intricate relationship between perceptions and performance of silence in interaction involving Japanese and Australian participants.
