Internationally, there is increasing research and interest in the
processes of the production and reception of texts for specific
purposes and in the historical development of genres and registers
within Languages for Specific Purposes (LSP), psycholinguistics,
sociolinguistics, anthropology and the sociology of science.
Studies of professional communication have traditionally been
biased towards the written medium and have been carried out with
little, if any, connection to LSP. Disciplinary boundaries and
interest groupings have thus kept these different approaches to the
study of professional communication and interaction separate. The
editors of this volume unite these different perspectives and
approaches and bring together recent research from linguistics,
sociolinguistics, ethnography of communication, anthropology and
sociology to provide an up-to-date analysis of different varieties
of professional discourse and their historical development.
Chapters written by leading exponents in the field deal with the
core theoretical issue of how language, written genres and spoken
discourse are constructed as a successive and continuous interplay
between language and social realities. The volume includes chapters
on the moral construction of discourse in the social care
profession, the discourse of dispute negotiation, narrative
accounts in clinical research, doctor-patient interaction, legal
and other kinds of institutional discourse. A key text for students
of applied linguistics and sociolinguistics at both advanced,
undergraduate and MA levels.
