FOREWORD
The articles included in this volume represent the scientific contribution of researchers from different areas of academic investigation: philology, history, psychology and sociology, or communication studies. The general topic which brings together these articles refers to "Cultural Diversity through Language and Communication", a theme which encompasses and reflects the interactions of literature, linguistics, arts, history, philosophy, or communication while drawing the contours / outlines of cultural variety in the contemporary world.
Viewed as extremely important and highly topical, the study of cultural interactions implies the development of a science of communication that is liable to play a significant part in situations involving different cultural referents. The acknowledgement of cultural diversity can only be guaranteed and forwarded by mastering the principles and conventions of one's culture. Studies conducted by specialists have proved that acceptance of diversity and cultural integration is easily achieved by individuals whose identity is clearly shaped. This is why the study of language and of specific communication forms represents one of the most important research directions in human sciences.
Every language entails, above its internal structure, a specific way of relating to reality. This premise of diversity is not to be ignored, as it is inherent to the diverse linguistic manifestations in the process of communication.
