Rooted in the performative of Speech Act Theory, this
interdisciplinary study crafts a new model to compare the work we
do with words when we protest: across genres, from different
geographies and languages. Rich with illustrative examples from
Turkey, U.S., West Germany, Romania, Guatemala, Great Britain, and
Northern Ireland, it examines the language of protest (chants,
songs, poetry and prose) with an innovative use of analytical tools
that will advance current theory. Operating at the intersection of
linguistic pragmatics and critical discourse analysis this book
provides fresh insights on interdisciplinary topics including
power, identity, legitimacy and the Social Contract. In doing so it
will appeal to students and scholars of sociolinguistics,
pragmatics and critical discourse analysis, in addition to
researchers working in sociology, political science, discourse,
cultural and communication studies.
