Description
Language is at the heart of our most fundamental challenges and debates. This book explores how we discuss language itself, and what we can learn from everyday conversations about its role in society. We often think of linguists and sociolinguists as key players in understanding language's connection to culture and society, but this book reveals that knowledge is also spread through more informal channels - social media, creative expression, and online discussions. By examining these forms of language expertise, we gain a new perspective on how language shapes our world. This book provides a fresh approach to studying the relationship between language, culture, and society, highlighting the importance of everyday conversations in shaping our understanding of language and its place in society.
