communication, or, in the authors’ own terms, factors mediating communication.  By focusing on common denominators of all human life (ideologies, forms of discourse, socialization, and face systems) Scollon, Scollon, and Jones successfully arrive at a culture-neutral heuristic that can be used in any instance of interpersonal (and thus, intercultural) communication.”  (\u003ci\u003eLinguist\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eList\u003c\/i\u003e, 8 January 2013)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRon Scollon\u003c\/b\u003e (1939-2009) was a Professor of Linguistics at Georgetown University.
