This book, originally published in 1987, considers how the science
of linguistics creates its own objects of study. It argues that
language is the one essential tool in the 'social construction of
reality' - the way in which our environment as we perceive and
respond to it is actually created by the cultural constructs we
bring to bear on it - and that it is also the means by which this
reality, once constructed, is preserved and transmitted from person
to person and from generation to generation. Hence it is entirely
appropriate to refer to the linguistic construction of reality.
