Language, Society and Power: An Introduction (Fourth Edition) provides an accessible introduction to the study of language in social contexts and examines the relationships between language, society, identity, and power. The book explores how language functions and influences thought and representation, as well as how language is shaped by and reflects political, social, and cultural contexts. It examines language in the media, linguistic landscapes, gender, ethnicity, age, social class, and symbolic capital, and introduces the diversity of English varieties and attitudes toward Global Englishes. The fourth edition has been substantially revised with new developments in theory and research, including new chapters on linguistic landscapes and Global Englishes. It also includes international examples from social media, newspapers, television, YouTube, and everyday communication, together with research projects and further reading to support students in developing their own sociolinguistic investigations. The book is suitable for students of English language and linguistics, media and communication, cultural studies, sociology, and related fields.
