The chapters in Part III move the volume away from theoretical and general perspectives to consider four features of linguistic practice that have figured prominently in IDC research: Turn-taking, silence, indirectness, and politeness. Each of the chapters provides a critical review of the literature on the phenomenon it deals with and gives examples from the authors’ own work of how the feature can have an impact on intercultural discourse. This part of the volume is included so that a researcher who wants to begin to do their own work can use these chapters as a useful starting point. Each of these areas could have a volume of its own (and to our knowledge most have had such volumes, as referenced in each chapter), so these chapters are only beginnings, providing authoritative overviews of the field as seen by researchers who have done and are still doing extensive research in these areas.
