Language as Ideology
Critical Linguistics, inaugurated in 1979 with the publication of Language as Ideology, has been widely influential and successful in documenting the connection of linguistic and social practices. Published as a second edition in 1993, the reissue of this classic text still provides a most detailed theoretical account of the operation of power and ideology in all aspects of text. The book presents the advances made in the field of critical language study. The authors' views on the necessary directions for the field are advanced through a detailed analysis and theoretical discussion of a related set of texts. The book will be of interest to students and teachers of a wide range of disciplines, including English language and linguistics, media, cultural and communication studies, and education.
