Publication at Faculty of Arts |

Abstract

This chapter aims at analyzing the language use and language choices in the area of international tourism in the capital of the Czech Republic, which - along with the current migration and economic development - contributes to superdiversification of this country. First, an overview of tourism is sketched drawing upon statistical data, which show the macro-perspective.

Then, the micro-perspective is the focus. It concentrates on individual interactions in cafés and restaurants, including the problems and language management processes in which these problems are solved.
