Description
V. N. Voloshinov's seminal work on Marxism and language has been rediscovered by scholars across disciplines. First published in Russian in 1929, this influential text now appears in English for the first time in paperback. Semiotics or textual theory is the new field that Volosinov seeks to construct by breaking down disciplinary boundaries between linguistics, rhetoric, and poetics. A new preface by Ladislav Matejka and I. R. Titunik provides context for understanding Volosinov's work within the resurgence of interest in Mikhail Bakhtin's writings. This edition is a valuable resource for literary theorists, philosophers, linguists, psychologists, and others seeking to explore the intersection of language and ideology.
