CARIBBEAN TOURIST DICTIONARY is an innovative concept. This visual and bilingual English-Spanish dictionary for this area is a resource which focuses on facilitating intercultural communication in tourism. This resource is essential in the efficient realization of the main economic activity in the Caribbean. We will highlight marine and the terrestrial, in that every traveler who arrives in the Caribbean, will be in close contact with the sea, recognizing that most humans, generally, know less about the sea than of the land.El DICCIONARIO TURÍSTICO CARIBE es un concepto innovador. No existe precedente de un diccionario visual y bilingüe (Eng.-Esp.) para el área, un instrumento que se enfoque a facilitar la comunicación intercultural en el turismo. Sin embargo, contar con tal instrumento es básico en la realización eficiente de la principal actividad económica del Caribe. Otro aspecto inédito de dicha obra es resaltar igualmente lo marino y lo terrestre, dado que todo viajero que llega al Caribe, va a estar necesariamente muy en contacto con el mar, que los humanos por lo general conocemos mucho menos que lo terrestre.

A language guide, with a twist--this is a fully illustrated tool for getting what you want in a country where you don't speak the language Whether traveling for pleasure or on a business trip, we have all experienced the frustration of being unable to communicate our needs. This incredibly useful little book takes the hassle out of not being able to "speak the language." Covering all manner of potential scenarios and questions--Does the hotel have a gym? Where can one rent a bike? Is there a pharmacy nearby?--you name it, there's a clear image of it in here. Readers need only find the corresponding image and show it to the person they're asking, getting the answer they need in an instant, without a painful miscommunication or having to frantically scour every page of a phrase book. All becomes clear when you simply flip to the page and say, politely but firmly, "This, please!" Chapters include dining, transport, leisure and activities, accommodation, shopping, and emergency and information.

A Cultural Journey through the English Lexicon

Genre: Reference
ISBN: 1443836842

This book is a metaphorical journey through the English lexicon, viewed as a vehicle and a mirror of cultural identity. From the translatability of phrases and metaphors to genre-specific terms, from English as a Lingua Franca to English language teaching, the studies collected here testify to the fact that in English – and overall in language – word contextualization or lack of contextualization impinges on linguistic utterances and leads to differing interpretations of the textual message. The book may be of interest to a wide range of scholars and students who are concerned with the study of the English lexicon, bearing in mind that this lexicon provides the bricks of any language, and language, in turn, needs the cornerstone of Culture to stand firmly and thrive.
