Rezension

"This edition of Language, Society and Power is up to date with current developments in society that impact issues of power and ideology. It involves the reader - tutors and students alike - in an analysis of these developments, sucks them in to explore their in-ward understanding of language issues." - Ayo Amuda, University of South Wales, UK

"Language, Society and Power contains a balanced and very accessible coverage of the core concepts of sociolinguistics, illustrated through carefully chosen and meticulously discussed data. It is a must for students and everyone interested in understanding and analysing how we use language in our societies." - Irene Theodoropoulou, Qatar University
