Klappentext
This book explores the various choices speakers or communicators make when expressing power relations in modern societies. The volume brings together several disciplines, such as linguistics, sociology, communication studies and social psychology, to give insight into how interactants co-construct different aspects of power in their everyday life.
Research on symmetrical and asymmetrical relationships as encoded in language represents a budding field that has seen the publication of some relevant monographs and collective volumes in the past. However, none of them adopts an explicitly multidisciplinary focus on social dimensions, and questions of meaning construction in interaction have so far only marginally been discussed in relation to power and identity. Competitor publications are especially those that are based on different conceptions of social dimensions from particular theoretical and methodological perspectives:
Bartlett, Tom. 2014. Analysing Power in Language. A Practical Guide. London and New York: Routledge Chapman & Hall. (based on text and discourse analysis within the framework of Systemic Functional Linguistics)
Cole, David R. and Linda J. Graham, eds. 2012. The Power in/of Language. Oxford: Wiley-Blackwell. (focus on language in educational environments)
Fairclough, Norman. 2001. Language and Power. 2nd ed. Harlow: Pearson. (linguistic explorations within the framework of Systemic Functional Linguistics and Critical Discourse Analysis)
Grillo, Eric, ed. 2005. Power without Domination. Dialogism and the Empowering Property of Communication. Amsterdam and Philadelphia: John Benjamins. (focus on philosophical deliberations)

Mooney, Annabelle et al, eds. 2011a. Language, Society & Power. An Introduction. 3rd ed. London and New York: Routledge. (focus on key concepts in sociolinguistics, elaborating on the social and political dimensions of language use)
