Description

Assuming no prior linguistics background, this introductory textbook summarises key topics and issues from workplace discourse research in a clear and accessible manner.

The topics covered include how people issue directives, use humour and social talk, and how they manage conflict and disagreement.

The role of language in the enactment of identity is also explored, in particular leadership, gender, and cultural identity, along with the implications and applications of workplace research for training and communications skills development.

Over 160 international examples are provided as illustration, which come from a wide range of workplace settings, countries and languages.

The examples focus on authentic spoken discourse, to demonstrate how theory captures the patterns found in everyday interaction.

Introducing Language in the Workplace provides an excellent up-to-date resource for linguistics courses as well as other courses that cover workplace discourse, such as business communication or management studies.
