A1 - Joseph, John Earl LA - English PP - Edinburgh PB - Edinburgh University Press YR - 2006 UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/ebsco_acadsubs_ocm70699981 AB - 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. The chapter headings include: How politics permeates language (and vice-versa) Language and nation The social politics of language choice and linguistic correctness Politics embedded in language Taboo language and its restriction Rhetoric, propaganda and interpretation Power, hegemony and choices OP - 170 CN - P119.3 .J67 2006eb SN - 0748626972 SN - 9780748626977 SN - 9780748671458 SN - 0748671455 SN - 9786610501649 SN - 6610501645 SN - 1280501642 SN - 9781280501647 SN - 9780748624522 SN - 074862452X SN - 9780748624539 SN - 0748624538 KW - Language and languages : Political aspects.
