Japanese at Work: Politeness, Power, and Personae in Japanese Workplace Discourse: Communicating in Professions and Organizations

Editat de Haruko Minegishi Cook, Janet S. Shibamoto-Smith
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 17 apr 2018
This book empirically explores how different linguistic resources are utilized to achieve appropriate workplace role inhabitance and to achieve work-oriented communicative ends in a variety of workplaces in Japan. Appropriate role inhabitance is seen to include considerations of gender and interpersonal familiarity, along with speaker orientation to normative structures for marking power and politeness. This uniquely researched edited collection will appeal to scholars of workplace discourse and Japanese sociolinguistics, as well as Japanese language instructors and adult learners of Japanese. It is sure to make a major contribution to the cross-linguistic/cultural study of workplace discourse in the globalized context of the twenty-first century.

Recenzii

“Japanese at work is a valuable collection of studies that engage with not only linguistic practice in the workplace, but the ways in which workers are socialized into those practices. … Japanese at work makes a timely, needed contribution to the field.” (Hannah E. Dahlberg-Dodd, Language in Society, Vol. 48 (1), February, 2019)

Caracteristici

One of the first books to provide detailed empirical studies of aspects of the Japanese workplace based on naturally occurring data Offers empirical findings on Japanese workplace practices in analytic frameworks that facilitate comparison with those of Western studies on workplace discourse Significantly contributes to the cross-linguistic/cultural study of business discourse in the globalized context of the twenty-first century Includes chapters on foreign-invested companies in Japan, and workplace socialization of recent graduates – both critical areas which have been understudied.
