DISCOURSE IDEOLOGY AND SPECIALIZED COMMUNICATIO...

This book approaches the issue of ideology in specialized communication in professional 
institutional and disciplinary settings across domains as diverse as law  healthcare  corporate
management  migration  NGOs  etc. What unites the contributors is their commitment to a
discourse view of language use  i.e.  the view that organisational and professional practices
are rooted in social  ideological orders  although a variety of perspectives on the exact
nature of the relationship between ideology and discourse can be discerned in individual
chapters. The acts of interpretation - by participants and analysts alike - are invested in
ideology  explicitly or implicitly. This manifest hidden duality surrounding
ideology-in-discourse constitutes the main focus. Challenging the traditional presumption of
objectivity  impersonality and non-involvement that has often characterized research on
Language for Specific Purposes  this book demonstrates how the specialized communication
setting is a critical site where ideology is intrinsically embodied in discursive practices.
