Academic Talk

[Munoz, Kristine L]

Tracy, K. (1997). Colloquium:  Dilemmas of academic discourse. Norwood, NJ: Ablex.

It's not exactly hallway talk, but it's a solid study of academic talk that has as one goal to socialize graduate students to the profession, and a prominent aspect of the analysis is based on interviews with faculty and grad students about the unspoken norms of presenting your ideas to colleagues and the facework involved in doing so.  I have found it very useful in a lot of ways!

Best,

Kristine

I'm looking for writings about informal academic talk. That is, the kind of speech you would encounter in the corridors of a university or academic conference. Also useful would be analysis of various forms of informal academic writing (other than journal articles), but informal academic speech would be the best.

Thanks, and a Happy Year of the Dragon to everyone!

Cheers,

Kerim
