Workplace Discourse Paperback / softback
by Dr. Almut Koester
Part of the Continuum Discourse series
Paperback / softback
Description
Workplace Discourse provides an overview of the rapidly developing field of spoken and written workplace interaction, taking a fresh perspective on research methods and key issues in the field.
It examines discourse in a wide variety of workplace contexts using both genre analysis and a corpus-driven approach.
The book draws on Koester's previous research, but examines the current state of workplace discourse more widely.
It provides a descriptive account of the linguistic characteristics of workplace discourse within their social and organizational contexts, with illustrative extracts from real texts and naturally occurring spoken interactions.
It showcases specific issues at the forefront of current research and practice in this area: the use of English as a lingua franca, the importance of relationship building and the teaching applications of research.
