RC30 Sociology of Work
Language: Spanish, French and English
Session Type: Oral
This session is concerned with links that exist between work and language.
The first objective of this session is to analyse current challenges of professionals who work with languages, either as a direct working tool (teachers, translators, researchers, editors, professionals in multilingual firms or working contexts, computer scientists and their various languages for coding, etc.) or indirectly (professions shaped by a given language – sailors on international ships for trade for instance -, professions that should be adapted following current global challenges, professions that are related to given mastering inside a language – as courtesy rules, protocol, etc. - , etc.).
The second objective of this session is to look at language as a part of work to shed light on how language is standardised in various working and organizational situations, but also how a common language is created at the workplace. How do contemporary challenges influence writing and speech at work?
