📘 Language and power by Norman Fairclough

Language and Power is about how language works to maintain and change power relations in contemporary society, and how understanding these processes can enable people to resist and change them. Substantial changes in social life have taken place in the decade since the original publication, 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.

First publish date: 1989

📘 Language and politics

by Noam Chomsky

"A chronological collection of over fifty interviews conducted with Noam Chomsky beginning with his 1968 discussion of the U.S. war on Vietnam and ending soon after the appearance of his best-selling book, 9-11, and the start of America's "War on Terror."" "The interviews add a personal dimension to the full breadth of Chomsky's written canon-equally covering his analysis in linguistics, philosophy, and politics. The discussions of the ideas and conclusions of Plato, Galileo, Descartes, Marx, Rocker, Freud, Skinner and Keynes, among others, are balanced with insightful principled critiques of the small cadre of international madmen who attempt to wrestle freedom and power away from us."--BOOK JACKET.
