Routledge English Language Introductions cover core areas of
language study and are one-stop resources for students. Assuming no
prior knowledge, books in the series offer an accessible overview
of the subject, with activities, study questions, sample analyses,
commentaries and key readings - all in the same volume. The
innovative and flexible 'two-dimensional' structure is built around
four sections - introduction, development, exploration and
extension - which offer self-contained stages for study. Each topic
can also be read across these sections, enabling the reader to
build gradually on the knowledge gained. Language and Power, Second
Edition has been completely revised and updated and includes: a
comprehensive survey of the ways in which language intersects and
connects with the social, cultural and political aspects of power;
an introduction to the history of the field, covering all the major
approaches, theoretical concepts and methods of analysis in this
important and developing area of academic study; coverage of all
the 'traditional' topics, such as race, gender and institutional
power, but also newer topics such as the discourse of post-truth,
and the power of social media; readings from works by seminal
figures in the field, such as Robin Lakoff, Deborah Cameron and
Teun van Dijk; real texts and examples throughout, including
advertisements from cosmetics companies; newspaper articles and
headlines; websites and internet media; and spoken dialogues such
as political and presidential speeches; a supporting companion
website that aims to challenge students at a more advanced level
and which features extra reading, exercises, follow-up activities,
and suggestions for further work. Language and Power will be
essential reading for students studying English language or
linguistics.
