Coaching & Helping Professions - Between Practice and Research

The Pragmatics of Executive Coaching (Graf, 2019) is the first linguistic monograph on executive coaching, a recent, not fully professionalized, yet booming helping professional format in the organizational realm. The book is positioned at the interface between applied linguistic analysis and the activity of coaching, coupled with its structuring professional theory. It presents the Basic Activity Model of coaching, a model for the qualitative analysis and description of the discursive co-construction of coaching by coach and client within and across individual coaching sessions and whole processes. The analysis is based on 150 hours of authentic data from the coaching approach Emotionally Intelligent Coaching and presents coaching as hybrid and interdiscursive helping professional format. The gained insights into the discursive layout of coaching interactions advance our linguistic understanding of helping professions as such, contribute to the theoretical and methodological underpinning of coaching and help promote the coaching practice. The monograph will be published in April 2019 as part of John Benjamins’ Pragmatics & Beyond New Series (303).

Eva-Maria Graf is an associate applied linguistics professor at the English department of the University of Klagenfurt (Austria). She is the editor-in-chief of Coaching | Theorie & Praxis, the first double-blind peer review open-access journal on coaching in German-speaking countries. Apart from coaching, her areas of interest include: discourse analysis, professional discourses, social and communication skills, interdisciplinarity, communication theory and praxis, research on helping professions and the transfer from research to practice. It is one of Graf’s main goals to establish coaching research as a distinct academic field of interest and to showcase its relevance and practical use.
