Japanese at Work: Politeness, Power, and Personae in Japanese Workplace Discourse (2018)

One of the first books to provide detailed empirical studies of aspects of the Japanese workplace based on naturally occurring data
Offers empirical findings on Japanese workplace practices in analytic frameworks that facilitate comparison with those of Western studies on workplace discourse
Significantly contributes to the cross-linguistic/cultural study of business discourse in the globalized context of the twenty-first century
Includes chapters on foreign-invested companies in Japan, and workplace socialization of recent graduates - both critical areas which have been understudied.
