Technology Linguists
Studies of technology and jobs
| Linguist | Investigation |
|---|---|
| Coupland | Proposed that small talk is vital in the workplace and can be used as a complex tool to fulfil a range of functions |
| Fairclough | Believed that there are power relations between social groupings in institutions, as we have seen, and there are power relations between women and men, between ethnic groupings, between young and old, which are not specific to particular institutions |
| Butler | Deduced that poor legal writing is cluttered, wordy, indirect and uses unnecessary technical words or phrases |
| Wellington | Found that it is not possible to make generalisations between the genders in the workplace, however in some parts of the study, women who have been identified as ‘excellent managers’ used a wider range of verbal strategies to manage people and negotiate |
| Jefkins | Discovered that job advertisers use language in order to encourage the job seekers to believe their claims |
| Senders & Fryburger | Articulated that advertisement can be defined as a notification to the public in order to extend information in the society with an emphasis on specific services or products |

| Turkoski | Accentuated that the shift from traditional to electronical communication has influenced both civilian and military occupations |
| Velghe & Dong | Convicted that our own knowledge procedures are, in effect, mostly grounded in informal learning practices, especially when we engage with people and their messages in their virtual world |

| Thurlow & Poff | Identified a number of cross cultural similarities and differences in text speak, such as phonetic changes in Swedish and French |
