Japanese at Work: Politeness, Power, and Personae in Japanese Workplace Discourse – eBook

Suitable role inhabitance is seen to include considerations of gender and interpersonal familiarity, together with speaker orientation to normative structures for marking politeness and power. This exclusively researched edited collection will appeal to scholars of workplace discourse and Japanese sociolinguistics, and also Japanese language instructors and adult learners of Japanese. It is sure to make a key contribution to the cross-linguistic/cultural study of workplace discourse in the globalized background of the twenty-first century.
