Sinopse

Spanish at Work is the first book examining the discourse practices of institutions in the Spanish-speaking world. It focuses on three ?umbrella? institutions (the mass-media, politics and the workplace), each of which are explored through a discrete theme. Within the mass media, chapters focus on the relationship between language and identity, within the political domain, persuasion and performance are investigated, and within the workplace, chapters explore the negotiation of interpersonal relations in work-related activity types.Spanish at Work delves into a varied selection of countries and settings in which Spanish is spoken variously as one of several official languages, as the official language, as a ?minority? language, and even as a second language or one of a number of other languages. Spanish at Work will be essential reading for upper-level undergraduates and graduates in Spanish linguistics and discourse analysis, as well as for practitioners in these fields.á
