      abstract = {Deepening our understanding of the social context of  interpersonal interaction, this book examines the  communication practices through which members of a  particular culture construct and maintain their  relationships. The author presents an ethnographic case  study of urban, largely middle-class Colombians, taking a  close look at interactional practices and speech patterns  in a range of everyday settings - from schools, workplaces,  and social service agencies, to gatherings of family and  friends. In focusing on a context outside of North America  and Europe, the book sheds light on cultural assumptions  about personhood, relationships, and communication that  often remain unexamined in the literature.},
