Tannen, Deborah – Harvard Business Review, 1995

Scott, Phyllis – 1980
A sociolinguistic analysis of texts is advocated for expanding an oral interpreter's creation of an event from written texts. Two studies are reviewed that suggest that language choices are related to the speaker's purpose, thought processes, role, cultural expectations, and sex. The specific area of study suggested as highly useful for…

Goffman, Erving – Language, 1978
