Substantial changes in social life have taken place during the past decade which have changed the nature of unequal power relations, and therefore the agenda for the critical study of language.
In this second edition, Norman Fairclough brings the discussion completely up-to-date with the inclusion of a new chapter covering the 'globalisation' of power relations and the development of the internet in relation to language and power.
This book provides critical tools to unveil the ideologies and the prejudices underlying all kinds of texts, from the mainstream media to personal spoken exchanges.
Whether you are a PhD student with a background in linguistics, or you are simply curious and willing to grasp which interests and concerns are REALLY behind language, not only will this book put you in a position to understand such social practices, but it will provide you with a language to describe and discuss them.
