The Routledge Handbook of Language in the Workplace cover

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 handbook provides a superb overview of the field of language and communication in the workplace. Written in a highly accessible style, its five main sections offer a comprehensive picture of this multifaceted field, with each of the section chapters explaining historical background as well as current research and developments. I’ll definitely be referring to it regularly. Very highly recommended!"
