The book consists of fourteen specially commissioned contributions to address the thematic focus of how professional knowledge and identities are constituted in discourse vis-à-vis a given institutional order. These discourse practices shed light on what it is to be a member of a profession and how the lives of both clients and professions are affected by institutional processes. Additionally to both, clients and professions are affected by institutional processes.
In addition to the theoretical insights into workplace discourse and an extended editorial introduction, the final section of the book debates methodological issues and the need to combine disciplinary rigour with diversity.
This book will be a key text for graduate students as well as for lecturers and researchers across a range of disciplines: sociolinguistics, sociology, culture and communication studies, applied linguistics.

Even this relatively long review cannot capture the scope, depth and excellent quality of Sarangi and Roberts' collection. This volume should be required reading for anyone carrying out research within an ethnomethodological, discourse analytical, pragmatic, or related framework. A detailed and useful subject index [...] complements this volume.
