Abstract
Reflecting on the place of work and health within sociolinguistics
research, I trace their shift from marginal concerns to established
areas of inquiry, which have shown how access, participation,
belonging, and inequality are produced and negotiated in interaction
through the everyday experiences of professionals and lay members.
This research has often remained separate from other areas of the
discipline. Drawing on past and ongoing projects, I argue that
fragmentation is problematic: work and health are central not only to
the relevance of the discipline and our understanding of language in
society, but also to its development. I focus on three interrelated
challenges: the need for greater dialogue across sociolinguistic
traditions; further development of tools that can better capture
multilingual, multi-layered, embodied and mediated interaction; and
embedding interdisciplinary collaboration in research design from the
outset to achieve meaningful impact.
Jo Angouri is a Professor in Sociolinguistics at the University of
Warwick. Her research sits at the interface of sociolinguistics,
pragmatics and discourse analysis, and encompasses complex
decision-making/risk in work/health settings, multilingualism,
language politics, and methodology. She is the International Subject
Chair for Linguistics, Language, Communication and Media on the Scopus
board, founding editor of the Multilingual Matters’ Language at Work
series, and Editor-in-Chief of Discourse & Communication.
