The Language, Society and Power Reader is the definitive Reader
for students studying introductory modules in language and
society.
Highly user-friendly, this wide-ranging collection of key
readings introduces students to the thoughts and writings of major
writers working within the area of sociolinguistics. The Language,
Society and Power Reader
- is divided into ten thematic sections that explore the nature
of language in the following areas: power, politics, media, gender,
ethnicity, age, social class, identity and standardisation
- includes classic foundational readings from renowned scholars,
but also innovative and contemporary work from new writers in the
area
- provides a wealth of editorial support for each section with
detailed section introductions and background information, issues
to consider, annotated further reading and suggestions for further
viewing
- features a glossary with helpful definitions and information on
how the readings link to different areas.
While it can be used as a stand-alone text, The Language,
Society and Power Reader has also been fully cross-referenced with
the new companion title: Language, Society and Power, third edition
(Routledge, 2011). Together these books provide the complete
resource for students studying modules in language and society in
English language and linguistics, media, communication, cultural
studies, sociology and psychology.
