Description

The contributors to Language and Power approach the subject from different academic and cultural perspectives. Some focus on the link between whole languages and power structures; others consider styles and varieties of language in conjunction with the distribution of power. A single over-riding theme runs through these fascinating essays: that of language serving as a major means of expressing, manipulating, and sometimes even transforming power relations in every society. `...wide ranging in context and approach.′ -- Lore and Language, Vol 4 No 1
