Double-Voicing At Work - Power, Gender and Linguistic Expertise

Zusatztext "Baxter successfully combines key features of a good introductory stance towards her subject! offering clear and accessible overviews of the key themes of power and gender! with a nuanced and rich analysis of empirical data. Her book will therefore appeal to both 'old-timers' as well as 'newcomers' to the study of Bakhtin! gender and power. ? Baxter's work certainly sparks interest and engagement and is likely to lead readers to continue to follow her ideas." (Theresa Lillis! Journal of Sociolinguistics! Vol. 19! 2015) Informationen zum Autor Judith Baxter is Professor of Applied Linguistics at Aston University, UK. She has written and edited many publications on the themes of language and gender, language and education, and the language of leadership. The research represented in this book derives from a major UK Research Council grant on gender and the language of leadership, as well as a case study of Judith's work featured in the BBC2 TV series Hilary Devey's Women at the Top .

Baxter's research shows that women use double-voicing more than men as a means of gaining acceptance and approval in the workplace. Double-voicing thus involves an interplay between power, gender and linguistic expertise.
