TL;DR: This paper explored the ways in which work is changing in two very different sites: a gaming machine factory and a metropolitan teaching hospital and explored the implications of these changes for our own work as researchers and discourse analysts.
Abstract: This paper considers the ways in which work is changing in two very different sites: a gaming machine factory and a metropolitan teaching hospital. In addition, the paper explores the implications of these changes for our own work as researchers and discourse analysts. In comparing the hospital and the factory, and in relating these sites to academia, we aim to bring out commonalities between what is happening to workers in factory occupations and those who work as expert professionals. We will argue that, in the contemporary workplace, workers across a variety of sites are being confronted with having to renegotiate their knowing, their doing, and their worker identity. Drawing on empirical evidence, we focus on how factory employees deploy a team building device called 'Problem Solving Plus', and on how different clinicians co-formulate a multi-disciplinary 'Clinical Pathway', to demonstrate that these two phenomena represent discursive strategies that require both kinds of workers to produce discourse that goes outside the boundaries of their conventional worker habitus. As new discourse practices, these two phenomena are central to reconstituting occupational and professional work and knowledge, and to problematizing identity. The paper concludes that these strategies are part of a new textualization of work (Darville 1995; Jackson 2000), and represent what the might term the 'reflexivization' of worker identity.

TL;DR: The authors argue for the reconstruction of Eastern paradigms in favour of multiculturalism in discourse research, pointing to the cultural realities of the Eastern discourses, i.e. the discourses of Asia, Africa and Latin America.
Abstract: Current scholarship on language and communication has largely been culturally monological rather than dialogical and diversified. In this paper, I respond to this sorry state by arguing for the reconstruction of Eastern paradigms in favour of multiculturalism in discourse research. To that end, I first critique the ethnocentrism of Discourse Analysis, then point to the cultural realities of the Eastern discourses, i.e. the discourses of Asia, Africa and Latin America, and finally demonstrate the unique cultural legacies and intellectual accomplishments of the Eastern world useful for the study of their discourses. In conclusion, I outline the basic principles of the new paradigms and the corresponding action strategies for their reconstruction.

TL;DR: You Know My Steez is the culmination of nearly four years of direct study and hands-on experience by a teacher-researcher and active community member in the working-class suburb of Sunnyside, California.
Abstract: You Know My Steez is the culmination of nearly four years of direct study and hands-on experience by a teacher-researcher and active community member in the working-class suburb of Sunnyside, California. Focusing on the language and linguistic practices of students at Haven High School, an ethnically and linguistically diverse school, the author examines both the internal linguistic constraints and the external social constraints (race, gender, and cultural literacy, among others) that shape speech styles, particularly amongst Black male and female hip hoppers. Contributing to the development of a more refined methodological approach to the study of linguistic styleshifting, the author integrates the study of sociolinguistic variation, interactional analysis (the use of discourse analysis to examine the implicit rules and roles that govern social interaction), and ethnographic fieldwork to develop a deeper understanding of how, when, and why speakers shift their styles.
