Context Counts assembles, for the first time, the work of
pre-eminent linguist Robin Tolmach Lakoff. A career that spans some
forty years, Lakoff remains one of the most influential linguists
of the 20th-century. The early papers show the genesis of Lakoff's
inquiry into the relationship of language and social power, ideas
later codified in the groundbreaking Language and Woman's Place and
Talking Power. The late papers reflect her continued exposition of
power dynamnics beyond gender that are established and represented
in language. This volume offers a retrospective analysis of
Lakoff's work, with each paper preceded by an introduction from a
prominent linguist in the field, including both contemporaries and
students of Lakoff's work, and further, Lakoff's own conversation
with these responses. This engaging and, at times, moving
reevaluation pays homage to Lakoff's far-reaching influence upon
linguistics, while also serving as an unusual form of autobiography
revealing the decades' long evolution of a scholary career.
