Language, Society and Power provides an accessible introduction to the study of language in a variety of social contexts.
This book examines the ways language functions, how it influences the way we view society, and how it varies according to age, ethnicity, class, and gender.
Readers are encouraged to consider whether representations of people and their language matter, explore how identity is constructed and performed, and examine the creative potential of language in the media, politics, and everyday talk.
