Based on ethnographic observations of encounters between social
workers and people with whom they do not have a shared language,
this book analyzes the impact of language discordance on the
quality of professional service provision. Exploring how
street-level bureaucrats navigate the landscape of these
discretionary assessments of language discordance, language
proficiency, and the need for interpreting, the book focuses on
four main themes: the complexity of social work talk the issue of
participation in language discordant meetings communicative
interaction the issue of how clarification is requested when
needed, and whether professionals and service users are able to
reach clarity when something is unclear Based on the findings
presented on these different aspects of language discordant talk,
the consequences of language discordance for social work are
presented and discussed, focusing primarily on issues at the
intersection of language, communication, power, dominance and
subordination, representation, linguicism, and ultimately, human
rights and human dignity. It will be of interest to all social work
students, academics and professionals as well as those working in
public services and allied health more broadly.
