Combining the Micro and the Macro DESCRIPTION:This lecture aims to showcase some of the many benefits of rese arching culture – and other relatively abstract and often blurry concept s – taking an interactional sociolinguistic approach. I will discuss sev eral examples of authentic workplace interactions from my own research in different organisational and socio-cultural contexts to illustrate how int eractional sociolinguistics can help navigate some of the methodological\, conceptual and theoretical challenges that researchers often face in rese arch of real-life contexts. Drawing on audio- and sometimes video-recordin gs of naturally occurring interactions\, which may be supplemented by inte rviews and/or observations\, interactional sociolinguistics enables resear chers to consider both the micro and the macro. That is\, insights gained through micro-level discourse analysis can be fruitfully combined with the macro-level context in which encounters take place\, thereby capturing re latively abstract concepts such as culture in situ and making them more ta ngible.\\r\\nStephanie Schnurr is Associate Professor at the Centre for Ap plied Linguistics\, University of Warwick (UK)\, and a leading expert in t he field of intercultural communication\, particularly workplace discourse . Her main research interests are in professional and medical communicatio n. She has researched and published widely on topics such as leadership\, gender\, humour\, (im)politeness\, identity construction\, and many other aspects of workplace discourse in a range of different socio-cultural prof essional and medical contexts. She will give a public lecture on her inter actional sociolinguistic research on culture.
