Abstract:

Gendered Talk at Work examines how women and men negotiate their genderidentities as well as their professional roles in everyday workplacecommunication.

- written accessibly by one of the field's foremost researchers

- explores the ways in which gender contributes to the interpretation ofmeaning in workplace interaction

- uses original and insightfully analyzed data to focus on the ways inwhich both women and men draw on gendered discourse resources to enact arange of workplace roles

- illustrates how a qualitative analysis of workplace discourse can throwlight on the many ways in which workplace discourse provides a resource forconstructing gender identity as one component of our complex socio-culturalidentity

"Janet Holmes's account of gender and workplace discourse representssociolinguistic scholarship at its best. Her detailed and wide-ranginganalysis of language in interaction provides unique insights into thelinguistic culture of the workplace and challenges stereotypicalconceptions of gendered speaking styles - an invaluable resource." -- JoanSwann, The Open University

"Gendered Talk at Work offers rich empirical texture to support subtle andcareful analysis of gender in workplace talk. Janet Holmes's highlyreadable yet theoretically sophisticated book will be required reading notjust for sociolinguists but for everyone interested in promoting genderequity in employment." -- Sally McConnell-Ginet, Cornell University
