This book presents ten studies of communication practices in a variety of professional contexts. Drawing on diverse methodologies from fields such as conversation analysis, intercultural communication, and organizational studies, the essays examine how language is constructed, managed, and consumed in various professional situations, ranging from academic settings to business negotiations. One important theme is an emphasis on collaboration between researchers and professionals. The contributors strongly believe that such collaborative partnership will provide direct implications for improving workplace communication and enhance better understanding of the construction of professional identity and organizational behavior.Less
