Download or read book Language and Politics written by John E. Joseph and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2006-06-21 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
