Shortlisted for the BAAL Book Prize 2019 This book explores how
political economy intersects with sociolinguistics, specifically
how neoliberalism, inequality and social class mediate language in
society issues. After the preface, in which the author sets the
scene for the content of the book, Chapter 1 is an extensive,
though selective, review of sociolinguistics research which has
been framed as political economic in orientation. The chapter
concludes that such research generally contains little in the way
of thorough and in-depth coverage of the key ideas and conceptual
frameworks said to undergird it. With this consideration in mind,
Chapters 2, 3 and 4 are organised around in-depth discussions of,
respectively, political economy as a general disciplinary frame;
neoliberalism as the variegated variety of capitalism dominant in
the world today; and stratification, inequality and social class,
as phenomena intrinsic to capitalism, which in the neoliberal era
have come to the fore as key issues. Drawing directly on the
background provide in Chapters 2-4, Chapters 5 and 6 explore two
distinct political economy-informed lines of research, on the one
hand, the 'neoliberal citizen', and on the other hand, 'discursive
class warfare'. The book ends with an epilogue addressing issues
arising around political economy in sociolinguistics.
