Description

The Language, Society and Power Reader provides a comprehensive introduction to sociolinguistics for students studying language and society. This user-friendly collection features key readings from major writers in the field, covering topics such as power, politics, media, gender, ethnicity, age, social class, identity, and standardisation. The book is divided into ten thematic sections, each with detailed introductions, background information, annotated further reading, and suggestions for further viewing. A glossary provides helpful definitions and explanations of how the readings relate to different areas. This reader can be used as a standalone text or in conjunction with the companion title, Language, Society and Power, third edition. For students studying modules in language and society, media, communication, cultural studies, sociology, and psychology, this collection offers a wealth of editorial support and resources for exploring the complex relationships between language, society, and power.
