Routledge Introductions to Applied Linguistics is a series of
introductory level textbooks covering the core topics in Applied
Linguistics, primarily designed for those beginning postgraduate
studies, or taking an introductory MA course as well as advanced
undergraduates. Titles in the series are also ideal for language
professionals returning to academic study. The books take an
innovative 'practice-to-theory' approach, with a 'back-to-front'
structure. This leads the reader from real-world problems and
issues, through a discussion of intervention and how to engage with
these concerns, before finally relating these practical issues to
theoretical foundations. Additional features include tasks with
commentaries, a glossary of key terms, and an annotated further
reading section. Exploring Professional Communication provides an
accessible overview of the vast field of communication in
professional contexts from an applied linguistics perspective. It
explores the nature of professional communication by discussing
various fundamental topics relevant for an understanding of this
area. The book is divided into eight chapters, each dealing with a
specific area of professional communication, such as genres of
professional communication, identities in the workplace, and key
issues of gender, leadership and culture. Although the book's main
approach to professional communication is an applied linguistics
one, it also draws on insights from a range of other disciplines.
Throughout, Stephanie Schnurr takes an interactive approach that is
reflected in the numerous examples of authentic discourse data,
from a variety of written and spoken contexts. Exploring
Professional Communication is critical reading for postgraduate and
upper undergraduate students of applied linguistics and
communication studies.
