and Power
‘This is a book written by real academics, drawing articulately on their own research interests,
and using an excellent range of twenty-first century examples to give the book a lively, contem-
porary feel. The extensive textual analysis is far superior to some of the banal tasks often to
be found in introductory textbooks.’
Martin Conboy, The Surrey Institute of Art & Design
‘This is an excellent, accessible new edition. The large number of examples, worked through
in the text, make the book very student-friendly.’
Jonathan White, Department of English, Dalarna University, Sweden
This is a completely updated and expanded second edition of Language, Society and Power .
Lively and accessible, it looks at the ways in which language functions, how it influences
thought and how it varies according to age, ethnicity, class and gender. How can a language
reflect the status of children and older people? Do men and women talk differently? How can
our use of language mark our ethnic identity? The book also looks at language use in politics
and the media and examines how language affects and constructs our identities, exploring
notions of correctness and attitudes towards language use.
This second edition has been fully updated to include recent developments in theory and
research and offers the following features:
●
new, relevant and engaging examples drawn from everyday life: conversation transcripts,
novels including Ian McEwan’s Atonement , television and the internet
●
new activities designed to give students a real understanding of the area
an international perspective with examples from the world’s press, including the
Washington Post , the Daily Mail and the New Zealand Listener
● updated and expanded further reading sections and glossary
Language, Society and Power remains an essential introductory text for students of English
language and linguistics, and will also be of use to students of media, communication, cultural
studies, sociology and psychology.
