Abstract:

"Engagement" has turned essential in today’s communication, as professional
communities are becoming more specialised and transient, and their audiences
more diverse. Promotionalism and competitiveness, in addition, increasingly
pervade human activity, and thus engaging readers, listeners and viewers to
attract and persuade them is part of the know-how of almost every profession.
The eighteen chapters in this book, written by well-known discourse analysts
from different nationalities and research backgrounds, and with various
interests and understandings of communicative engagement, guide us through a
discovery of perspectives and strategies across work settings and practices,
genres, semiotic modes, discourses, disciplines, and theoretical frameworks
and methods. They build a mosaic that leads to a broad picture of
(meta)discursive engagement as "(di)stance" and raises current issues,
challenges, and future research directions.
