<font size="2"><span lang="en-US" style="font-size: 11pt;">Initiated by U.S. President Reagan and Prime Minister Thatcher and later propagated by U.S. Presidents Clinton, G.W. Bush, and Obama, neo-liberal approaches to social and human services have been characterized
by decentralization, privatization, standards reform, routinized practices, individual responsibility, increased accountability, and an approach to poverty that constructs the poor in moral terms, with top-down, paternalistic solutions. </span></font><font size="2"><span lang="en-US" style="font-size: 11pt;">This
model has been widely critiqued on global (Chomsky, 1999) and national (Ritzer, 2000, 2007; Soss, Fording, & Schram, 2011) levels, as well as in disciplinary fields such as education (Apple, 1999; McNeil, 2000; Olson, 2007) and social work (Kirkpatrick, 2006).
Few studies conduct cross-institutional comparisons of neoliberal ideology, one exception is Maynard-Moody and Musheno’s (2003) study, which examines educators, police officers, and counselors, asking practitioners to tell</span></font><font size="2"><span lang="en-US" style="font-size: 11pt;"><em>stories</em></span></font><font size="2"><span lang="en-US" style="font-size: 11pt;"> about
their uses of discretion. These studies, however do not examine the interactions themselves but stories </span></font><font size="2"><span lang="en-US" style="font-size: 11pt;"><em>about</em></span></font><font size="2"><span lang="en-US" style="font-size: 11pt;"> them.
Moreover, Maynard-Moody and Musheno argue that the challenges practitioners face in managing accountability are rarely found in the stories of their practitioners, a point I take issue with in this paper.</span></font></div>

<font size="2"><span lang="en-US" style="font-size: 11pt;">In recent years, applied linguists have turned their attention to the relationship between neoliberalism and language. While Fairclough (2000, 2006) addresses neoliberalism, he conflates it with the
terms like </span></font><font size="2"><span lang="en-US" style="font-size: 11pt;"><em>globalization</em></span></font><font size="2"><span lang="en-US" style="font-size: 11pt;"> and </span></font><font size="2"><span lang="en-US" style="font-size: 11pt;"><em>capitalism</em></span></font><font size="2"><span lang="en-US" style="font-size: 11pt;">,
thereby under-theorizing neoliberal ideology (Holborrow, 2012). Block, Gray, and Holborrow (2012), drawing on Bourdieu (2005), Volo</span></font><font size="2" color="black"><span lang="en-US" style="font-size: 11pt;">š</span></font><font size="2"><span lang="en-US" style="font-size: 11pt;">inov
(1929), Phillipson (2008) and Pennycook (2007), define and expand on the relationship between neoliberalism and language. Most research conducted in these areas, however, focuses on language policy and practice and not on institutional discourses spoken in
situ.</span></font></div>

<font size="2"><span lang="en-US" style="font-size: 11pt;">This paper, therefore, examines the ways in which neoliberal discourses, particularly those addressing responsibility and accountability, surface in three diverse institutional contexts: educational,
social work, and policing. Using Conversation and Discourse Analyses, this paper describes how these discourses surface in everyday conversation between practitioners and clients, be they a professor and his students, social workers and her clients, or police
officers and the drivers he pulls over. The paper concludes with a discussion and critique of “Big Service,” a term I have coined to describe the corporate take-over of service institutions that moralizes and punishes the poor and narrows opportunities for
practitioners-cum-bureaucrats who want to help.</span></font><font size="4"><span lang="en-US" style="font-size: 14pt;"></span></font></div>
