Abstract

Drawing on a large and varied corpus of data collected in a wide range of workplaces, the authors explore specific types of workplace talk, such as giving advice and instructions, solving problems, running meetings and making decisions. The authors also researched the less obvious types of workplace talk such as humor and small talk which may enhance the construction of effective workplace relationships. Recommendations as to practical implications of their analyses are given.
