This chapter examines conceptual and empirical research into the impact of language and culture on project partnerships and teams. Research on this topic takes place in several different disciplinary fields, with international business/management being particularly dominant. This chapter thus includes work in this area, as well as in pragmatics/discourse studies. The first main section, which takes a historical perspective, argues that much work in the international business field has attempted to demonstrate the impact (positive or negative) of the diversity of team members on team performance, yet has found a complex picture that requires a more contextual and process-oriented approach. Early work on language demonstrated the importance of language choice as well as the need to pay close attention to the construction of mutual understanding. The following sections explore ways in which this can be carried out, including research into critical issues such as the benefits and challenges of teamwork, virtual teams, team life cycles, and the impact of culture. Current research foci are reviewed, including the impact of faultlines, power relations and language proficiency, and team relations, as well as the wide variety of research methods used to investigate such issues. The chapter ends with several recommendations for practice and future research directions, including the need for more case studies that are longitudinal and/or process-oriented.

It is commonly noted that, owing to technological advances in transportation and communication, the redistribution of production and labour, and other reasons, the potential for intercultural contact is currently greater than it has ever been in human history. Moreover, with an estimated 6,900 languages across the approximately 200 countries of the world (Lewis 2009), it is very likely that intercultural contact will involve encounters between people who speak different languages. Sometimes, these encounters take place between members of groups with a long history of interaction and thus they are rather routine, such that personal and normative expectations regarding language use effectively guide the communication process to predictable, if not mutually satisfying, outcomes. At other times, we are less well acquainted with our interlocutors’ practices, and so part of the process of communication involves grappling with the acquisition of new verbal and nonverbal communication systems. Regardless of the level of familiarity, a variety of sociopsychological and sociocultural processes operate within every intercultural interaction. In this chapter, we focus on how the languages we speak are linked to feelings of identity inintercultural encounters. This relation is a reciprocal one: the languages we learn and use open up possibilities for new identities, while at the same time our identities can have implications for engagement in language learning and use. We begin with a review of how scholars in social psychology, communication studies and applied linguistics have defined identity and described its function in intercultural communication. We discuss some prominent themes that reverberate (or not) across disciplines, particularly as they relate to notions of identity, language and culture, and we consider what the various conceptualizations of these constructs imply for research methodology. In so doing, we highlight areas where we believe that theory and research can be informed through interdisciplinary rapprochement.
