Language, this book argues, is political from top to bottom,
whether considered at the level of an individual speaker's choice
of language or style of discourse with others (where interpersonal
politics are performed), or at the level of political rhetoric, or
indeed all the way up to the formation of national languages. By
bringing together this set of topics and highlighting how they are
interrelated, the book will function well as a textbook on any
applied or sociolinguistic course in which some or all of these
various aspects of the politics of language are covered. The
chapter headings include: *How politics permeates language (and
vice-versa) *Language and nation *The social politics of language
choice and linguistic correctness *Politics embedded in language
*Taboo language and its restriction *Rhetoric, propaganda and
interpretation *Power, hegemony and choices
