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.
