Adopting an Interactional Sociolinguistic approach, this article focuses on one Māori male manager working in an ethnicised Māori workplace and examines the way he adapts his interaction patterns in meetings where he takes on different roles. The role of chair requires being much more active than when simply attending as a member of the team, while the additional responsibility of “acting CEO” adds extra interactional obligations and expectations. Team norms are important, these being constrained by the cultural context, and the analysis demonstrates how the focus participant’s adaptation of his interaction patterns reflects Māori norms and the values underlying these.

情境问题：探讨规范，价值观和情境对毛利男性经理的影响

本文采用一种互动社会语言学方法，重点研究了在一个种族化的毛利人工作场所工作的一名毛利人男经理，并研究了他在担任不同职务的会议中如何适应他的交互方式。主持人的角色需要比仅仅作为团队成员参加时更加活跃，而“代理首席执行官”的额外职责增加了额外的互动义务和期望。团队规范很重要，这些规范受文化背景的约束，分析表明，重点参与者对其互动方式的适应方式如何反映毛利人的规范以及这些规范的价值观。
