[Ethnocomm] EC studies on organizational communication

[Wendy Leeds-Hurwitz]

Great that you're doing this work, Sunny and Trudy.

While I don't usually do organization communication, the last chapter in my
book *Communication in Everyday Life* (1989) presents an EOC study of
naming behavior, specifically analyzing forms of address, in an
organizational context. (It was first prepared as a paper for Hymes in his
EOS course in the 70s, turned into my MA thesis, published as a working
paper, then as a book chapter). It's ch 7: conclusion and I use it to draw
together the arguments in the rest of the book about the characteristics of
interaction. The examples include the use of first name vs title plus last
name; nicknames; and "no-naming." It could also be used as a study of
gender, because a woman with no college degree and an ambiguous status
interacts with older men who have MDs, PHDs, or both, and she uses
no-naming as a way to avoid calling attention to the status difference.

The working papers version is:
Leeds-Hurwitz, W. (1980). The use and analysis of uncommon forms of
address: A business example. *Working Papers in Sociolinguistics, Number 80*
.

The full citation for the book is:
Leeds-Hurwitz, W. (1989). *Communication in everyday life: A social
interpretation*. Norwood, NJ: Ablex.

These are obviously very old - so you may decide they're not relevant to
your project.
