<p><span style="font-family: Verdana; "><span style="font-size: 13px; ">I invite chapter proposals for a volume entitled Digital Business Discourse, to be published by Palgrave in the series </span><i style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; ">Palgrave Studies in Professional and Organizational Discourse</i><span style="font-size: 13px; ">.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana; "><span style="font-size: smaller; "><b>Digital Business Discourse</b> <br />
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana; "><span style="font-size: smaller; ">Proposal submission deadline<b> 26 May 2013</b> </span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 10px; font-family: Helvetica; "><span style="font-family: Verdana; "><span style="font-size: larger; ">Recent scholarship on business discourse either only scarcely registers computer-mediated discourse, or struggles to meaningfully combine the findings of the scholarship of organizational studies and linguistic/ computer-mediated discourse studies. The proposed volume of <b>Digital Business Discourse</b> is aimed to fill </span><span style="font-size: larger; ">this gap by bringing together research addressing the interactional practices enabled by the various mediated communication modes currently used in the professional workplace or virtual work teams. The main aim of the volume is to bring together research on computer-mediated or digital business discourse, specifically studies that include language or discourse-focussed analysis of naturally occurring digital business interactions. The manuscripts sought are 7,000-9,000 words long, containing original, previously unpublished research.</span><span style="font-size: smaller; "> </span></span></p>
