The role of gender in workplace talk -- Gender and leadership talk at work -- Relational practice : not just women's work -- Humour in the workplace : not just men's play -- Contest, challenge and complaint : gendered discourse? -- Women and men telling stories at work -- Giving women the last word.
"This book explores the ways in which gender contributes to the interpretation of meaning in workplace interaction, and examines how women and men negotiate their gender identities as well as their professional roles in everyday workplace communication. Using original and insightfully analysed data, Janet Holmes focuses not on how women and men differ in the ways they communicate power and authority, but rather on the ways in which both draw on gendered discourse resources to enact a range of workplace roles."--Jacket.
