This book approaches the issue of ideology in specialized
communication in professional, institutional and disciplinary
settings across domains as diverse as law, healthcare, corporate
management, migration, NGOs, etc. What unites the contributors is
their commitment to a discourse view of language use, i.e., the
view that organisational and professional practices are rooted in
social, ideological orders, although a variety of perspectives on
the exact nature of the relationship between ideology and discourse
can be discerned in individual chapters. The acts of interpretation
- by participants and analysts alike - are invested in ideology,
explicitly or implicitly. This manifest/hidden duality surrounding
ideology-in-discourse constitutes the main focus. Challenging the
traditional presumption of objectivity, impersonality and
non-involvement that has often characterized research on Language
for Specific Purposes, this book demonstrates how the specialized
communication setting is a critical site where ideology is
intrinsically embodied in discursive practices.
