Politeness, Power, and Personae in Japanese Workplace Discourse

Redaktion: Cook, Haruko Minegishi; Shibamoto-Smith, Janet S.

Beschreibung

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.

Rezensionen

"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)
