“…By analysing talk between leaders as backstage and the discursive performance of leadership duties on an organisational level as frontstage, a thread of continuity between events is maintained that represents a focus on organisational goals. This is important for the study of leadership discourse, as one of the driving factors in analysing leadership discourse is that it is of relevance to the needs of leaders, and one of these needs is how their leadership behaviour enhances the business of their organisation (Bolden ; Holmes, Marra and Vine ; Ladegaard ; Schnurr and Chan ).…”

Interaction without walls: Analysing leadership discourse through dramaturgy and participation

Goffman's dramaturgical model of interaction is often used to examine how communicative events are framed differently in public and private settings. However, this idea has restrictively been conflated with specific spatial locations. This paper contends that it is not the place where discourse is performed that styles it as front or backstage, but rather the stances taken in interactions, and the participation framework involved. Furthermore, backstage can be used to negotiate stances later performed frontstage, where they may index wider, ideological aspects of identity. This is demonstrated through the analysis of a sequence of linked backstage and frontstage interactions that involve two rugby coaches. The extracts presented and analysed take place in a New Zealand rugby team, a type of organisation in which space is particularly fluid. The dramaturgical model is demonstrated to be of use in examining leadership discourse within organisations, particularly in organisations in which multiple leaders exist.

“…Such approaches highlight the ways in which speakers actively (though not necessarily consciously) construct a range of contextdependent social meanings, and how they sometimes break with normatively gendered ways of speaking. In workplace contexts, for example, it has been shown that female leaders draw on a range of 'masculinities' and 'femininities' to enact their professional identity (Holmes 2006;Holmes & Stubbe 2003;Holmes & Marra 2011;Baxter 2006;Mullany 2010;Angouri 2011;Ladegaard 2011). Similarly, in female-dominated workplace contexts, such as nursing, the discursive behaviour of male nurses has been described as 'feminine'; however, this does not mean that they are 'being a woman', but simply that they are conducting a professional role of 'being a nurse ' (McDowell 2015).…”

“…Holmes has pointed to the expectation in such workplaces of a speech style which signals 'autonomous', 'task/outcome', and 'referentially oriented' stances, and which in turn has been said to index normative masculinity (2006:6; see also Tannen 2001). One oft-explored question in this body of work has been how female managers discursively navigate the double bind of being in a position of authority without coming across as abrasive, aggressive, or unfeminine (Holmes & Marra 2011;Angouri 2011;Mullany 2010;Ladegaard 2011).…”

Despite a shift to service-based economies, male-dominated, high-status workplaces have been the predominant focus of research into language and gender in the workplace. This study redresses this shortcoming by considering one female-dominated, low-status, highly regimented workplace that is emblematic of the globalized service economy: call centres. Drawing on 187 call centre service interactions, institutional documents, interviews, and

“…This approach has proved very successful in collecting actual workplace data, and the project's methodology has been adopted by many others researching spoken interaction (e.g. Koester 2006;Richards 2006;Angouri 2007;Mullany 2007;Ladegaard 2011). This paper draws on the full range of recorded data, including interactions at morning tea, small, relatively informal work-related meetings and discussions involving two or three people, as well as data from larger, and generally longer, meetings which were both audio-and video-recorded.…”

CLU-SAL publishes monographs and edited collections, culturally oriented grammars and dictionaries in the cross-and interdisciplinary domain of anthropological linguistics or linguistic anthropology. The series offers a forum for anthropological research based on knowledge of the native languages of the people being studied and that linguistic research and grammatical studies must be based on a deep understanding of the function of speech forms in the speech community under study. His research focuses on spoken English, with a particular attention to narrative as well as verbal humor, and is rooted in the wide field of pragmatics. His monographs include Conversational Joking: Humor in Everyday Talk and the popular Conversational Narrative, which has recently been reprinted in paperback edition.He co-edited a handbook on phraseology and volumes on the Foundations of Pragmatics and on Humor in Interaction, which has also seen a reprint in paperback. After many years as Special Issues Editor, he is now Co-Editor in Chief of the Journal of Pragmatics. He also serves on the Consultation Board of the International Pragmatics Association (IPrA) as well as on the editorial boards of a number of journals from the fields of pragmatics and humor studies (e.g. Text and Talk and Humor).In this millennium only, he has published more than 50 articles in peerreviewed journals and edited volumes reflecting his manifold interests in language in use, its forms and functions, including topics as diverse as conjunctions, interjections, pragmatic markers, tellability, swearing, remembering, listener practices, similes, scripted performances, laughter, conflict, and the construction of identities in talk. Uniting his two passions, language and cooking, he has worked on recipes as early as 1983. His recent addition to the field of culinary linguistics is on "Conversational recipe telling" (2011).The articles in this volume were written and assembled as a token of gratitude and affection for our teacher, mentor and colleague.1. We would like to thank the student helpers of English linguistics, above all Isabel Schul and Daniel Recktenwald, for their help, and also our colleagues at the English department of Saarland University and everybody else for not "spilling the beans." Aperitivo Overview of the volume Maximiliane FrobeniusSaarland UniversityThe present volume contains a collection of original research articles from multiple disciplines, revolving around the common theme of language and food and the manifestation of the two within their cultural framework. This section gives a brief overview of the general structure of the volume and of the individual contributions.Similar to the intricate task of composing a four course meal for invited guests, the assembling of an edited volume demands a sense of "what goes together. " The metaphor of the menu serves as the vehicle for the order of contributions: we start with an introduction to the whole field of research (Antipasti), move on to contributions in the form of original research ar...
