Reviews for Discourse and Responsibility in Professional Settings (Studies in Communication in Organisations and Professions)

The work is therefore an excellent reference, directing readers (particularly researchers and professional practitioners in language studies and other fields) to approach professional discourse from the perspective of responsibility.
