Abstract:

"Linguistic Penalties and the Job Interview" looks at a relatively untapped
area of language and social life: the role of language and interaction in
constructing the job interview and how this role produces disadvantage in the
linguistically diverse communities of the western world. It relates the
specific activity of the job interview to the wider field of institutional
discourse and discusses relevant social theories in the light of the data.

The volume considers job interviews as key ‘gatekeeping’ encounters within the
workplace from two main perspectives: interviews as extreme examples of social
evaluation, showing how inferential processes of moment to moment talk in
interaction can lead to the ‘small tragedies’ of everyday life; and interviews
as a window into social inequality more generally. It illustrates
interactional sociolinguistic and linguistic ethnography methodology through
the job interview and workplace data and argues for the importance of
practical relevance – applying sociolinguistic analysis to educational
interventions.
