[Air-L] Digital Business Discourse CFP

[Erika Darics]

--Apologies for cross-posting--

Dear Colleagues,

I invite chapter proposals for a volume entitled Digital Business
Discourse, to be published by Palgrave in the series *Palgrave Studies in
Professional and Organizational Discourse*.

*Digital Business Discourse*

Proposal submission deadline* 26 May 2013*
Recent scholarship on business discourse either only scarcely registers
computer-mediated discourse, or struggles to meaningfully combine the
findings of the scholarship of organizational studies and
linguistic/ computer-mediated discourse studies. The proposed volume
of *Digital
Business Discourse* is aimed to fill this gap by bringing together research
addressing the interactional practices enabled by the various mediated
communication modes currently used in the professional workplace or virtual
work teams. The main aim of the volume is to bring together research on
computer-mediated or digital business discourse, specifically studies that
include language or discourse-focussed analysis of naturally occurring
digital business interactions. The manuscripts sought are  about 9,000
words long, containing original, previously unpublished research.
