Recenzje

"This is a unique book that focuses on the language and interactional practices of nurse practitioners in the current U.S. healthcare setting. This novel resource intends to move forward the area of linguistic research that to date has focused primarily on physician-patient communications." (Kathleen M. Woodruff, Doody's Book Reviews, June 28, 2019)
