Language and Culture at Work de Stephanie Schnurr

Language and Culture at Work

Autor Stephanie Schnurr, Olga Zayts
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 7 feb 2017
Language and Culture at Work provides an overview of the complex role that culture plays in workplace contexts. Eight chapters cover the core aspects of culture at work, comprising:
  • Face and politeness
  • Decision making
  • Leadership
  • Identity
  • Gender
  • Work-life balance
The authors draw on a significant corpus of authentic workplace data collected in numerous professional and medical settings involving participants from a variety of different socio-cultural backgrounds (including Chinese, Filipino, Indian, British, Dutch, Hong Kong, Taiwanese and Australian). Using in-depth analyses of authentic interactions and interviews, the book proposes a new integrated framework for researching culture at work from a sociolinguistic perspective.
This is key reading for researchers and recommended for those working in the areas of sociolinguistics, communication studies, discourse analysis and applied linguistics. It will be of particular interest to students of professional and workplace communication, intercultural communication and intercultural pragmatics.

Recenzii

"This is a lucid, highly accessible and timely work on a topic that is justifiably receiving increasing attention both within and beyond academia. A range of data sources are used, allowing the authors to talk confidently and persuasively on topics such as leadership, politeness, gender and work/life balance. The book should be essential reading for students, researchers and anyone else with an interest in the topics of culture and communication in workplaces." Michael Handford, Cardiff University, UK.
