Description

Discourse and Power explores the role of language and communication in shaping social relationships and power structures. Teun van Dijk examines how discourse is used to reproduce and maintain social domination, and how media and political elites control access to public discourse.

This collection of essays brings together some of van Dijk's most important work, framed by new introductory material. It provides a critical analysis of the ways in which discourse is used to maintain power and inequality in society.

Through his work, van Dijk sheds light on the complex relationships between language, power, and social control. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the ways in which discourse shapes our social world.
