The Routledge Handbook of Language in the Workplace provides a
comprehensive survey of linguistic research on language in the
workplace written by top scholars in the field from around the
world. The Handbook covers theoretical and methodological
approaches, explores research in different types of workplace
settings, and examines some key areas of workplace talk that have
been investigated by workplace researchers. Issues of identity have
become a major focus in recent workplace research and the Handbook
highlights some core issues of relevance in this area, such as
gender, leadership, and intercultural communication. As the field
has developed, applications of workplace research for both native
and non-native speakers have emerged. Insights can inform and
improve input from practitioners training workers in a range of
fields and across a variety of contexts, and the Handbook
foregrounds some of the ways workplace research can do this. This
is an invaluable resource for researchers and graduate students
interested in learning more about workplace discourse.

This is the first book in the field of workplace discourse to
examine the relationships among leadership, ethnicity, and language
use. Taking a social constructionist approach to the ways in which
leadership is enacted through discourse, Leadership, Discourse, and
Ethnicity problematizes the concept of ethnicity and demonstrates
the importance of context-particularly the community of practice-in
determining what counts as relevant in the analysis of ethnicity.
The authors analyse everyday workplace interactions supplemented by
interview data to examine the ways in which workplace leaders use
language to achieve their transactional and relational goals in
contrasting "ethnicized" contexts, two of which are Maori and two
European/Pakeha. Their analysis pays special attention to the roles
of ethnic values, beliefs and orientations in talk.
