“…The specificity of this context means it is recommended that further similar research is undertaken within the construction context of other countries. From this study, it could be observed that despite the hierarchal organisational structure there were egalitarian preferences across the workforce, which can be associated with an Australian cultural context and the concept of 'mateship' (Ashkanasy et al, 2004;Trevor-Roberts et al 2003). For example, there was a perception it was fair and beneficial that all workers (regardless of hierarchal position) have an opportunity to contribute to decisions that potentially impact their safety.…”

Transactional and transformational safety leadership have been repeatedly found to be important for safety. Yet how transactional and transformational leadership behaviours are most effectively demonstrated can be dependent on the context and industry. Using an ethnographic approach, supervisor safety leadership was explored across eleven construction sites in Australia. The findings revealed that, within the construction site context, contingent reward, idealised influence, and management-by-exception behaviours demonstrated by supervisors closely aligned with their definitions in Full-Range Leadership Theory (FRLT). These three types of leadership behaviour reflect observation of supervisors' positive actions, which included: praising workers for good safety performance; proactively anticipating and attending to safety issues; and consistently leading-by-example with safety, even at times of significant production pressure. Other theoretically described dimensions of leadership behaviour, i.e. individual consideration, inspirational motivation, and intellectual stimulation, were not directly reflected in observed supervisors' behaviour in the way they are conceptualised in FRLT. The existence of a good supervisor-worker relationship enabled workers to comfortably raise safety issues, think creatively about how to undertake work safely, and talk to their supervisor if they were experiencing personal problems. These are motivational, intellectual, and empathetic elements of leadership, which do not directly align with the way leadership behaviours are conceptualised in mainstream FRLT. The study suggests that, in the construction worksite context, leadership behaviours may take a form that differs from theoretical ideal types and that ethnographically attained insights into supervisors' interactions with workers can contribute to understanding transformational and transactional leadership in practical terms.

“…As Leo's joking comments to Isaac indicated, a mentor's guidance can usefully extend beyond the transactional dimension to assist new employees negotiate the relational norms of particular workplaces, including the role of food in workplace interaction. Nerissa's comments indicate that food was sometimes carried into meetings, where it served to deformalize the event, a desirable outcome in New Zealand, where formality is avoided as much as possible and a strong egalitarian ethic prevails (Trevor-Roberts et al 2003). Food and talk about food serve an important function and this was especially apparent at the boundaries of meetings.…”

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...
