Description

The 31st BAAL Annual Meeting, held in September 1997 at the University of Birmingham, had as its theme Language at Work. The papers in this collection, although they relate to a wide variety of different contexts, all deal with people using language as part of their working life, and they are all concerned with how language functions to construct participant relationships and institutions. In short, these papers demonstrate how people at work make language for them. - from Amzon
