Im/politeness, Rapport Management and Workplace Culture: Truckers Performing Masculinities on Canadian Ice-Roads

Abstract

This chapter analyses the interplay between linguistic im/politeness, gender and workplace culture in a series of interactions between groups of men working on Canadian ice-roads as seasonal truck drivers. The data are taken from the documentary series Ice Road Truckers , which has been broadcast on a number of commercial television networks in a range of locations including the USA, the UK, Australia, New Zealand and the Netherlands. 1 These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
