Description
Language attitudes and language ideologies play a significant role in our daily lives. The way we communicate can influence how others perceive us, from our competence and social status to our trustworthiness and group memberships. Peter Garrett explores the intricate relationship between language and human behaviour, drawing on decades of research to examine the impact of language attitudes on our use of language, social interactions, and social identity. This book delves into the fascinating ways in which language shapes our thoughts, feelings, and actions, using a range of examples that include punctuation, words, grammar, pronunciation, accents, dialects, and languages. By understanding how language influences our daily lives, we can gain insight into the complex dynamics of human communication and social interaction.
