Description

Language and Politics brilliantly demonstrates the ways in which language is political, revealing how politics permeates language (and vice-versa); the link between language and nation; the social politics of language choice and linguistic correctness; the significance of language taboos; the role of rhetoric, propaganda, and interpretation; and the power of hegemony and choices. John E. Joseph's previous book, Language and Identity has earned a wide readership among sociologists, political scientists, historians, and anthropologists as well as linguists.
