Discourse, identities and roles in specialized communication / [a cura di] G.E. Garzone, J. Archibald. - Bern : Peter Lang, 2010. - ISBN 978-3-0343-0494-8.
Abstract:
The studies presented in this volume focus on two distinct but related areas of specialized communication pro-fessional and academic settings, resting on an anti-essentialist notion of identity as a phenomenon that emerges from the dialectic between individual and society.
The authors start from a detailed analysis of discourse practices as evidenced in texts, their production and the professional performance patterns which underlie such practices, and explore the way the actors involved, their roles and their identities are constructed in language and discourse. In particular, by highlighting discursive attitudes and aptitudes, they underscore the need to understand discourse in light of norms of professional res-ponsibility, showing that not only do professionals and academics use discourse to create self-identity, but they also use identity constructed through discourse to influence society.
