Gendered Discourse in the Professional Workplace aims to investigate the crucial role that gendered discourses play in perpetuating workplace gender inequalities. A range of interactional sociolinguistic data is analysed from ethnographic case studies of businesses in which women and men managers perform a range of stereotypical gendered speech styles when enacting their professional identities. These interactions are examined as part of a broader interdisciplinary framework for analysis, which enables language, gender and power to be scrutinized at both micro and macro levels. Practical guidelines for conducting future projects are presented. 236 pp. Englisch.
