"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. Discourse is one of the most
significant concepts of contemporary thinking in the humanities and
social sciences as it concerns the ways language mediates and
shapes our interactions with each other and with the social,
political and cultural formations of our society. "The Continuum
Discourse Series" aims to capture the fast-developing interest in
discourse to provide students, new and experienced teachers and
researchers in applied linguistics, ELT and English language with
an essential bookshelf. Each book deals with a core topic in
discourse studies to give an in-depth, structured and readable
introduction to an aspect of the way language is used in real life.
