Engaging with Professional Practice across Domains through the Lens of Applied Linguistics
This editorial outlines the theoretical framework in which the papers included in the present issue are set. The guiding principle laid out is that investigations of professional practice cannot be limited to the analysis of language use in itself. The inherent diversity of applied linguistic research is discussed, and it is pointed out that what binds much of this research together is the identification of societal problems that are linguistical…

Counselling uncertainty
In genetic counselling, uncertainty is central to the client–professional relationship where decisions are made on the basis of risk information/assessment. For various historical reasons, genetic counsellors adopt an ethos of ‘nondirectiveness’ to communicate risk and offer support without advising their clients on what decisions to reach. However, nondirectiveness remains an ambiguous and contested concept that has acquired a negative meaning o…

Modes of risk explanation in telephone consultations between nurses and parents for a genetic condition
Risk explanations are a crucial part of clinical encounters that concern clients’ genetic risk status. The ways in which risk explanations are delivered may impact on clients’ decision-making and outcomes of these clinical encounters. In this article, we examine risk explanations in telephone consultations in Hong Kong between genetic nurses and parents whose infants have been diagnosed with a mild hereditary disorder, G6PD deficiency, commonly k…
Evidence-based familial risk explanations in cancer genetic counselling
This article examines how genetic counsellors and clients account for evidence when explaining the familial cancer risk. Against the backdrop of scientific developments in genetics, which give rise to new knowledge about genes and genetic tests, there also prevail layers of uncertainty surrounding genetic test results vis-à-vis risk status. Formulation and assessment of evidence thus become a core communicative activity, especially when the evide…

The Spatial and Temporal Dimensions of Reflective Questions in Genetic Counseling
This chapter, written by Srikant Sarangi, examines reflective questions in genetic counseling sessions. According to Sarangi, such sessions are characterized by an “ethos of nondirectiveness” designed to facilitate “reflection‐based decision making” on the part of clients. Sarangi shows how reflective questions, including hypothetical questions, function to create hypothetical scenarios for clients who are deciding whether they wish to be tested …
Humanizing HIV/Aids and its (re)stigmatizing effects
Social stigma has been inextricably linked with HIV and AIDS since the epidemic erupted in the early 1980s. The stigma that has built up around HIV and AIDS is generally regarded as having a negative impact on the quality of life of HIV-positive people and on general prevention efforts. Current attempts to combat HIV-related stigma focus on increasing the acceptance of HIV among the stigmatizing public and stigmatized individuals alike. In this, …

The micropolitics of responsibility vis-à-vis autonomy
Genetic testing and (non)disclosure of genetic information present ethical and moral dilemmas for the management of parental responsibility vis-à-vis the child's autonomy. Ethical guidelines aimed at professionals currently seek to defer childhood testing where there is no clear medical or psychosocial benefit. This version of autonomy is derived from a bioethical paradigm which brackets the individual rights and capacities of the child. In this …
Interactions discursives dans les «conseils médicaux en génétique»
Les fondements théoriques d’une analyse des activités dans les discours professionnels illustrée par des données issues de rencontres en conseil génétique sont présentés ici. En prenant l’activité comme unité de base de l’(inter)action, je me réfère rapidement à « l’activité théorique » proposée par Leontyev, rajoutant les notions de « jeux de langage» de Wittgenstein et de « types d’activités » de Levinson.

An ecological framing of HIV preventive intervention
The work that non-governmental organizations (NGOs) perform in terms of HIV and AIDS is wide-ranging. Financial resources are available from government and other agencies if NGOs can frame their work in alignment with their interests. We take the particular case of Disha Foundation, an NGO working in Nasik, in the state of Maharashtra in India, whose clients are migrant workers. Drawing upon a broad notion of frame, we focus on the way in which a…

Categorization and explanation of risk
Categorization -- generally understood as definition of situations (including events, actions, roles/identities, knowledge claims etc) in everyday and professional/institutional settings -- is a meaning-making activity, deeply embodied in human experience and understanding. Language and discourse play a significant part in how we categorize events and things in discipline-specific ways. Contributors to this Special Issue of Health, Risk Society a…
'Relatively speaking'
The activity of risk communication in the healthcare setting is contingent upon the associated notions of uncertainty, normality and decision making. Focusing on the context of counselling for predictive genetic testing, we point out that because there is `medical' uncertainty surrounding such testing, the discourse of risk assessment concerning an unwanted event is articulated in terms of the likelihood (in objective, probabilistic language) and…
Zones of Expertise and the Management of Uncertainty in Genetics Risk Communication
In the context of risk communication in genetic counseling, there appears to be a tension between clients seeking an authoritative, definitive risk assessment and the geneticist-expert actively defining the boundaries of his or her (in)expertise through formulation of uncertainty that is such a feature of genetic disorders. In the process of demarcating his or her zone of expertise, he or she defers to the judgment of other medical colleagues wit…

Talk, Work and Institutional Order
An interdisciplinary approach to talk and its role in creating workplace practice and relationships. Analytic tools drawn from ethnography, conversation analysis, interactional sociolinguistics and discourse analysis illuminate a range of workplace discourses. Following an introduction, 16 articles discuss medical practices and health care delivery, methodological debates, and mediation, management and social care.

The Language of Likelihood in Genetic-Counseling Discourse
This article examines how genetic counselors and clients jointly negotiate possible scenarios (e.g., inheritability, desirability of predictive tests, uncertainty about late onsets) based on available evidence (e.g., family tree, scan results, and population risk figures).Based on an analytic philosophical perspective, two potential meanings of probability can be identified: the degree of commitment and the notion of range/normalcy. These two lev…

Conflation of Institutional and Cultural Stereotyping in Asian Migrants' Discourse
Younger Asian migrants—as interviewees and clients in the British institutional context—primarily view their confrontation with `white' gatekeepers as one between their ethnic minority status and the cultural dominance of the majority. By calling into play their migrant status more readily than their client status, they tend to interpret the perennial mismatch between their socioeconomic needs and the institutional processing of those needs in te…

'I Actually Turn My Back on [Some] Students'
Classroom communication is best characterised as a social activity where interpersonal relationships are created, maintained and even changed through teacher-student interactions. A close analysis of some of the discourse features suggests that what differentiates the way teachers interact with 'more successful' and 'less successful' students is the extent to which they focus on 'task talk' and 'procedural talk'. Because these modes of talk somet…
