Abstract:

The crucial role language plays in constituting our reality, and in achieving
political influence and control, has long been known in scholarship. However,
appreciation of the role of language in understanding our social realities and
power relations has not been fully translated to education or even to research
beyond linguistically focussed academic strands. Bringing together
well-established scholars from a range of disciplines, this book demonstrates
why language awareness and discourse consciousness should be considered a key
skill in business and professional life, and looks closely at language in
areas such as entrepreneurship, leadership, human resource management,
medical, financial, or business communication, ecology, media, and politics.
The authors demonstrate how the understanding of the minutiae of language use
in a variety of professional contexts leads to knowledge that will empower
future generations of professionals and enable them to develop a
self-reflexive, critical, and more ethical practice.
