Authority in Language

Description

This book has a great track record; of its kind its the best on the market. - Deborah Cameron, University of Strathclyde

This influential and widely used book has been extensively revised and includes a new chapter on linguistic discrimination on the basis of class, race and ethnicity. Other topics covered include:

These revisions ensure Authority in Language remains topical and up-to-date.
