"A particular strength of this book is its accessibility to
non-linguists: it will assist women and men in the workplace to
gain a more sophisticated understanding of how gender interacts
with power in producing different ways of speaking." Anne
Pauwels, The University of Western Australia
"Janet Holmes’s account of gender and workplace discourse
represents sociolinguistic scholarship at its best. Her detailed
and wide-ranging analysis of language in interaction provides
unique insights into the linguistic culture of the workplace and
challenges stereotypical conceptions of gendered speaking styles
– an invaluable resource." Joan Swann, The Open
University
"Holmes's text is a well-written accessible book that not only gives the reader an understanding of much of the work on gendered workplace talk but advances with equal clarity into Holmes's own subtle and nuanced additions to the field." Discourse & Communication
