Summary

This book reveals how 'double-voicing' is an inherent and routine part of spoken interactions within institutional contexts. Baxter's research shows that women use double-voicing more than men as a means of gaining acceptance and approval in the workplace. Double-voicing thus involves an interplay between power, gender and linguistic expertise.

Double-voicing at Work Reviews

Baxter successfully combines key features of a good introductory stance towards her subject, offering clear and accessible overviews of the key themes of power and gender, with a nuanced and rich analysis of empirical data. Her book will therefore appeal to both 'old-timers' as well as 'newcomers' to the study of Bakhtin, gender and power. ... Baxter's work certainly sparks interest and engagement and is likely to lead readers to continue to follow her ideas. (Theresa Lillis, Journal of Sociolinguistics, Vol. 19, 2015)
