Introducing Language in the Workplace de Bernadette Vine

Introducing Language in the Workplace

Autor Bernadette Vine
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 iun 2020

Aplicabilitatea practică a acestui manual rezidă în capacitatea sa de a transforma cercetarea discursului profesional într-un instrument de lucru pentru dezvoltarea abilităților de comunicare și formare. Introducing Language in the Workplace sintetizează teme esențiale ale interacțiunii la birou, de la modul în care sunt emise directivele până la gestionarea dezacordurilor, fără a presupune cunoștințe prealabile de lingvistică. Remarcăm utilizarea a peste 160 de exemple autentice de discurs, colectate din diverse țări și contexte organizaționale, care ancorează teoria în realitatea cotidiană a muncii.

Structura volumului propus de Bernadette Vine este riguros organizată în patru părți. Primele capitole introduc cadrele metodologice, urmate de o analiză a subiectelor cheie precum umorul și narațiunile sociale. Ulterior, accentul se mută pe construcția identității — leadership, gen și cultură — finalizând cu implicațiile aplicate ale acestor studii. Comparabil cu Workplace Discourse de Dr. Almut Koester în rigoarea analizei interacțiunilor reale, volumul de față este actualizat pentru dinamica modernă a spațiilor de lucru multiculturale, oferind o perspectivă mai largă prin includerea contribuțiilor unor experți precum Janet Holmes.

În contextul operei sale, această lucrare completează abordările din Understanding Discourse Analysis, oferind o nișare pe mediul profesional, și extinde cercetările din Leadership, Discourse, and Ethnicity spre o audiență studențească. Stilul este accesibil, dar academic, susținut de 23 de exerciții care facilitează utilizarea textului în seminarele de business communication sau management. Credem că prezența ilustrațiilor color și a tabelelor comparative ajută la decodarea rapidă a tiparelor lingvistice complexe identificate în cercetarea de teren.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această carte studenților și profesioniștilor care doresc să înțeleagă mecanismele subtile ale comunicării profesionale. Cititorul câștigă instrumente analitice pentru a descifra ierarhiile de putere, umorul și conflictele la locul de muncă. Este o resursă esențială pentru cursuri de lingvistică aplicată sau management, oferind un echilibru rar între rigoarea editurii Cambridge University Press și exemplele practice, ușor de urmărit.

Descriere scurtă

Assuming no prior linguistics background, this introductory textbook summarises key topics and issues from workplace discourse research in a clear and accessible manner. The topics covered include how people issue directives, use humour and social talk, and how they manage conflict and disagreement. The role of language in the enactment of identity is also explored, in particular leadership, gender, and cultural identity, along with the implications and applications of workplace research for training and communications skills development. Over 160 international examples are provided as illustration, which come from a wide range of workplace settings, countries and languages. The examples focus on authentic spoken discourse, to demonstrate how theory captures the patterns found in everyday interaction. Introducing Language in the Workplace provides an excellent up-to-date resource for linguistics courses as well as other courses that cover workplace discourse, such as business communication or management studies.

Recenzii

'This book provides an excellent resource for anyone interested in workplace communication. Packed with useful real-world examples and providing a very comprehensive account of key topics in professional communication, Introducing Language in the Workplace is both engaging and accessible. I will certainly be using this book for teaching and would highly recommend it to students, practitioners and academics.' Małgorzata Chałupnik, University of Nottingham
'This book helps students, researchers and professionals connect abstract concepts and theories, like leadership, gender or power to specific instances of communication. The book guides the reader through detailed analyses of workplace interactions, offering both a long needed resource for instances of real-life data and a welcome guide to applying a range of analytical methodologies.' Erika Darics, Aston University
'This comprehensive, accessible and timely book explores key topics related to language in workplaces, such as how gender is relevant to the way people communicate at work, or why small talk can be so important to the development of relationships with colleagues, or why we tell stories. Dr Vine lucidly demonstrates the value of analysing authentic interactions, both from a research perspective and in terms of feeding back to workplaces.' Michael Handford, Cardiff University
'Requiring no previous knowledge of linguistics, this book provides an excellent and up-to-date introduction to spoken workplace discourse which will be highly relevant for students of language and business alike. It presents a range of approaches to analysing workplace interaction in an accessible manner, while the social constructionist theory underpinning all these approaches encourages readers to develop a differentiated and critical understanding of the topics covered. Special and original features include the wealth of spoken data excerpts from all over the world, the chapter summaries and exercises at the end of each chapter, as well as a final chapter with a discussion of implications and applications of each research topic.' Almut Koester, Vienna University of Economics and Business
'Moving beyond the world of 'corporate discourse' this book focuses on real world talk in a diverse range of workplace settings and occupations. Its approach and accessible style make it useful and interesting to a wide audience. Shifting from the traditional self-report data, contributors present authentic interactions in many contexts including talk between employees and clients, bus passengers, emergency management interaction and a lawyer's courtroom summing up. As a result, the book provides fascinating insights into what people actually say and do in the workplace rather than what they say they do. A must-read for both scholars and practitioners.' Jeannie Fletcher, Massey University, Auckland
'This exciting new textbook will be a much-needed addition to the growing field of language studies in the workplace. Including the voices of several international research experts, Bernadette Vine has succeeded in producing an excellent introductory volume, which covers a number of crucial areas of contemporary workplace research. It is brought to life by an impressive range of authentic workplace interactions. It is a must-read for any language student interested in exploring the practical applications of linguistics.' Louise Mullany, University of Nottingham
