Description:... This text offers an innovative approach to understanding communication and its barriers in a variety of institutional contexts, such as the outpatient clinic, the courtroom or the school. The theory which the book presents is called discourse sociolinguistics by the author; it is not only explicitly dedicated to the study of text in context, but also places equal emphasis and importance on both factors.
