内容説明
This book focuses ona hitherto neglected area of research within the fields of academic and professinal descourse: teh language of conferencing. The volume represents a reange of perspectives, from the conference as a whole event to the conferenfe as a system of potential genres, within a given discourse community. Somne discourse feataures of conference language are examined in detail, such as stretegies for politeness and other interpersonal management dur9ng presentations and discussions. The pedagogical implications of conference research are also addressed; in indeed there is a growing need for such a focus. Novice conference participants need explicit linguistic description fo the training in, the relevant generes to enable them to become fullyfledged members of their professional discourse communites. Additionally, the work in this volume makes a valuable contribution to the understanding of he intercultura and educational dimensions of the increasing dominance of English as an international lingua franca--in conferences and beyond.
