Description
Language, Society and Power: An Introduction provides an accessible introduction to the study of language in various social contexts. This book examines how language functions, its influence on our perception of society, and how it varies according to age, ethnicity, class, and gender. Readers are encouraged to consider whether representations of people and their language matter, explore how identity is constructed and performed, and examine the creative potential of language in media, politics, and everyday talk. The sixth edition features updated chapters on politics and media, as well as expanded coverage of ongoing debates around fake news, gender fluidity, and multilingualism. A companion website provides additional support for students, with streamlined exercises, further reading, a 'who's who' of Twitter, and links to blogs and videos. This textbook is suitable for all students studying language and society for the first time, regardless of their linguistic background.
