Language, Society and Power is an accessible introduction to
studying language in a variety of social contexts. This book
examines the ways language functions, how it influences the way we
view society and how it varies according to age, ethnicity, class
and gender. It considers whether representations of people and
their language matter, explores how identity is constructed and
performed, and considers the creative potential of language in the
media, politics and everyday talk. The fifth edition of this
popular textbook features: Updated chapters with new activities;
Examples that include material related to youth language,
computer-mediated communication, texting and electronic
communication; New material on online mass media, fake news and
Twitter as a form of political agency; More discussion of social
media, social networking, memes and mobile communication; An
introduction to the concepts of translanguaging and superdiversity;
An expanded Gender chapter that questions binary gender identities;
A companion website which includes more video material to support
learning as students make their way through the book. Language,
Society and Power assumes no linguistic background among readers,
and is a must-read for all students of English language and
linguistics, media, communication, cultural studies, sociology and
psychology who are studying language and society for the first
time.
