Synopsis
Academics go to conferences for two main reasons: first, to discuss their research; second, and just as importantly, to negotiate their own standing in the scientific community. This book shows how academics in the humanities use conference discussions as a forum to co-construct both their own and each other's professional identities. While at first sight the researchers seem to be simply asking and answering questions, the detailed sequential analyses reveal many subtle underlying strategies adopted to display and negotiate claims of expertise, seniority and competence.

Condition: Sehr gut. VI, 294 S. This book describes some interactional and linguistic practices of a particular kind of discourse community, which is also a community of social practice. Its members are academic researchers from the humanities, that is, people working in linguistics, literature, culture and translation studies, most of them teaching and/or researching at universities or similar institutions. The term discourse community indicates that its members share a common discourse, in other words, certain forms of linguistic behaviour; the second term - community of social practice - underlines the fact that social activities are at the centre of interest. Following Swales (1990: 24-27), discourse communities are defined as groups consisting of members who share a common set of goals, dispose of established ways of communicating with each other, engage in exchanging information and feedback relating to their goals, are characterised by the use of certain genres and a certain vocabulary, and are made up of both newcomers and more experienced members. In a broader sense, this study is also about a community of social practice, a term coined by the learning theory researchers Lave and Wenger (1991 ) and Wenger (1999), and defined as "[a] group of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly" (Wenger 2006).

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book explores how academics at conferences co-construct their own and each other's professional identities. It is based on the detailed sequential analysis of audio recordings of conference discussions in the field of the humanities, the working languages being French and English. The analyses show that the delegates who actively participate in these interactions, whether as presenters, chairpersons or as members of the audience, carry out a considerable amount of identity work, attributing self and other to various categories of professional identity. The discussion participants co-construct themselves and each other discursively as academics, professionals, experts, junior or senior members of the scientific community; they also orient to this identity work as an important task to be achieved at conferences. This study provides detailed insights into the fine-grained mechanics of spoken academic discourse. From the perspective of applied research it serves the double purpose of raising experienced researchers' awareness of their own routines and introducing novices to the discourse practices of academia. 428 pp. Englisch.
