Abstract:
While the fields of Institutional Discourse Analysis and Cross-Cultural
Pragmatics are now two well established, and rapidly growing,
subdisciplines within pragmatics, the cross-section between these two areas
remains underexplored. The current book attempts to explore this
interdisciplinary dimension, by presenting a collection of papers dealing
with cross-cultural aspects of institutional interaction, approached from a
variety of methodological perspectives (such as ethnomethodology, speech
act theory, and systemic-functional grammar).
Two areas of institutional interaction are explored in detail. The first is
classroom interaction, where the focus is mainly on the question how
foreign language learners can improve their communicative competence in a
formal teaching environment. Phenomena investigated here include
intonation, phatic talk, speech act realisations, and the issue of
autonomous language learning. The second context is that of professional
interaction in the narrow sense, which incorporates both business and
academic discourse, and which includes both written (e.g. business letters)
and spoken (e.g. conferencing, service encounters) modes of communication.
Given that this collection has institutional (or professional) discourse as
its main focus, it is an ideal companion volume to the earlier 'Discourse
in Professional Contexts' (edited by R. Geluykens and K. Pelsmaekers, 1999)
collection published in the same series.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such
can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations
can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax
payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your
financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any
gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting
your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills
in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure
that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny.
Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.
