The case studies discussed in the book are based on authentic texts and spoken data, collected within different environments and related to different domains.

The reader is introduced to a variety of analytical approaches, that of textlinguistics, pragmatics, genre studies, sociolinguistics, interactional sociolinguistics and sociology, psycholinguistics and cognitive psychology.
The book gives theoretically grounded and systematically investigated answers to questions of relevance for advanced learners, practitioners and academic scholars.
Reviews / Votes
"Drawing largely on her own extensive research that spans the last three decades, Professor Britt-Louise Gunnarsson has produced an account of professional discourse in contemporary Europe that is fresh, lucid and uncluttered. Many readers will be particularly interested in the latter chapters exploring the increasing role of discourse in organizations. Students of professional communications will also find many valuable methodological insights in this important volume." - John M. Swales, Professor Emeritus of Linguistics, The University of Michigan, USA ... the volume as an important original intellectual inquiry is a big step forward in studies of face(work) and will surely inspire further advances in this field.
