The analysis focuses, in particular, on how and why people \"do\" power and politeness in the workplace, and examines the discourse strategies involved in balancing the competing demands of meeting workplace objectives and getting things done on time with maintaining good collegial workplace relationships. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on a large and very varied corpus of data collected in a wide range of workplaces, the authors explore specific types of workplace talk, such as giving advice and instructions, solving problems, running meetings and making decisions. Attention is also paid to the important contribution of less obviously relevant types of workplace talk such as humour and small talk, to the construction of effective workplace relationships. In the final chapter some of the practical implications of the analyses are identified.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cem\u003eRoutledge Linguistics Classic\u003c\/em\u003e is here reissued with a new preface from the authors, covering the methods of analysis, an update on the Language in the Workplace project and a look at the work in the context of recent research. \u003ci\u003ePower and Politeness in the Workplace\u003c\/i\u003e continues to be a vital read for researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of applied linguistics and communication studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJanet Holmes is Emeritus Professor in Linguistics at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand and a Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMaria Stubbe is a senior lecturer and Director of Research in the Primary Health Care \u0026amp; General Practice Department at the Universtiy of Otago, New Zealand. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.46 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 05, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47487398117554,"sku":"9781138809062","price":119.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/afa4554f52ba59bb3a86a8bc36548f88.webp?v=1779332638","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/power-and-politeness-in-the-workplace-a-sociolinguistic-analysis-of-talk-at-work-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
