APPROACHES TO ANALYSING WORKPLACE DISCOURSE
APPROACHES TO ANALYSING WORKPLACE DISCOURSE

Summary/Abstract: A range of approaches, originating within a variety of disciplines- sociology, anthropology and linguistics- have been used to study talk in institutional and workplace settings. The aim of this article is to touch on some of the key issues involved in collecting and analyzing workplace talk and to show how different approaches deal with these issues and what they can reveal about the data. Firstly, we will emphasize the role of context by examining different views and treatments of contexts and how these are linked to methodology, taking into account the fact that the different approaches to analyzing workplace discourse vary considerably in terms of how they define and deal with contexts.Next different natural occurring talks will be analyzed at the discourse level.
