Beschreibung
This book reveals how 'double-voicing' is an inherent and routine part of spoken interactions within institutional contexts. Baxter's research shows that women use double-voicing more than men as a means of gaining acceptance and approval in the workplace. Double-voicing thus involves an interplay between power, gender and linguistic expertise.

“Baxter successfully combines key features of a good introductory stance towards her subject, offering clear and accessible overviews of the key themes of power and gender, with a nuanced and rich analysis of empirical data. Her book will therefore appeal to both ‘old-timers’ as well as ‘newcomers’ to the study of Bakhtin, gender and power. … Baxter’s work certainly sparks interest and engagement and is likely to lead readers to continue to follow her ideas.” (Theresa Lillis, Journal of Sociolinguistics, Vol. 19, 2015)
