Language is a natural resource: Power and vulnerability are
associated with access to language, just as to food and water. In
this new book, a linguist and philosopher elucidate why language is
so powerful, illuminate its very real social and political
implications, and make the case for linguistic equality-equality
among languages and equality in access to/knowledge of language and
its use-as a human right and tool to prevent violence and
oppression. Students and instructors will find this accessible,
interdisciplinary text invaluable for courses that explore how
language reflects power structures in linguistics,
philosophy/ethics, and cognitive science/psychology.
