Linguistic Penalties and the Job Interview looks at a relatively
untapped area of language and social life: the role of language and
interaction in constructing the job interview and how this role
produces disadvantage in the linguistically diverse communities of
the western world. It relates the specific activity of the job
interview to the wider field of institutional discourse and
discusses relevant social theories in the light of the data. The
volume considers job interviews as key 'gatekeeping' encounters
within the workplace from two main perspectives: interviews as
extreme examples of social evaluation, showing how inferential
processes of moment to moment talk in interaction can lead to the
'small tragedies' of everyday life; and interviews as a window into
social inequality more generally. It illustrates interactional
sociolinguistic and linguistic ethnography methodology through the
job interview and workplace data and argues for the importance of
practical relevance - applying sociolinguistic analysis to
educational interventions.
