"Beeman's study of Iranian interaction styles sheds great light on the intricacies of face-to-face sociolinguistics interaction-particularly how social power is negotiated, alliances are made, action is predetermined, and choices of strategy are decided, all by the use and meanings of particular words in conversation.Though focused on Iran, Beeman's study in cross-cultural linguistics will clearly be a model for the study of other languages and cultures. His formation of a systematic framework of linguistic strategies has wide applicability.
