Objects, Bodies and Work Practice (Language at Work; Volume 3) by Edited by Dennis Day and Johannes Wagner - 2019

Multilingual Matters, 2019. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. Linguists, scholars of particular languages, and sociologists investigate the role material objects play in the in situ, embodied, and spatial circumstances of interaction, how people organize their embodied conduct regarding such objects, and how this is consequential in and for their work experiences. They cover the role of objects for the progressivity of action, spatial aspects of objects in interaction, objects in the service of preparing for a possible future, and objects as interactional accomplishments.
