Description
Language and Power: Understanding the Influence of English on Society This book provides an introduction to how language is used to shape our relationships with others and position us within social hierarchies. It explores the linguistic techniques that are used to exert influence, examining how context affects the way we communicate. Written with input from the Cambridge English Corpus, this study guide looks at key issues and concepts in modern society, using short activities to help students develop analysis skills and explore language investigations. The book summarises current findings and provides inspiration for non-examined assessments, making it an ideal resource for advanced-level students and beyond.
