Abstract:
This volume strengthens the case for analysing discourse from the point of
view of discourse participants’ accountability and responsibility. It adds an
important and largely neglected strand to research in discourse studies and
pragmatics by analysing the expression and attribution of responsibility,
particularly in professional discourse.
Debates on social and professional responsibility have proliferated in recent
years both in the public sphere (e.g. in connection with corporate
responsibility reports) and in more local practices (e.g. as manifested in the
publication of in-house codes of conduct). However, there is little academic
research on professional discourse which systematically addresses the ways in
which responsibility relations are construed in language use.
This volume contains a number of case studies focusing on different
professional settings: media, health care and social work. The types of data
examined range from globally available mass-consumed discourse (such as news
agency dispatches) to local and essentially private face-to-face encounters
(such as counselling sessions). The studies examine different linguistic
features (such as reported speech in written texts and backchannelling in
spoken encounters) and different types of meanings (such as agency and
causality). The studies draw on different methodological approaches (mainly
pragmatics, conversation analysis and (critical) discourse analysis). A common
thread running through the contributions is that responsibility is not a
stable quality of people or institutions, but a dynamic and variable resource
that language users negotiate in interaction.
