It also includes readings from seminal figures in the field, providing students with a solid foundation for further study. A supporting companion website offers additional resources to challenge students at an advanced level. Suitable for students new to the subject, Language and Power provides a flexible and self-contained structure, allowing readers to build gradually on their knowledge.
