Abstract:

Over recent decades, linguists have used various theoretical frameworks to
investigate the language of the workplace and public institutions, and this
work continues to expand into new social contexts. This linguistic research
has been used for various applied purposes, including the need to improve
communication within organisations and with external clients, customers and
patients, and to develop communication and language training programs.

Language at Work: Analysing Language Use in Work, Education, Medical and
Museum Contexts outlines recent linguistic research in a cross-section of
institutions – museums, schools, universities, defence, non-government
organisations, universities, hospitals and corporations, as well as
Asian-based call centres. The chapters will be of interest to students and
scholars of linguistics, language teachers, museum curators, trainers, and
educators, in addition to the general reader interested in organisational
communication.
