This volume presents mayor contributions of Applied Linguistics to the
understanding of communications in the professions. The first two
parts of this book deal with the theoretical and methodological
orientations of professional communication studies, the history and
development of professional communication studies, highlighting the
discursive turn of Applied Linguistic research that goes far beyond
the established paradigm of Language for Specific Purposes. The third
part - the core of this book - presents research into professional
practices from various domains (e.g. law, healthcare, business and
management, organizations), sites of engagement (as e.g.
lawyer-client-conference, doctor-patient interaction) and with respect
to different themes that are generalizable across domains and sites
(as e.g. communicative aspects of action and practice, of assessment
and appraisal). In the final part, professionals from various domains
evaluate the contribution to their work so far made by Applied
Linguistics.
