LANGUAGE AND POWER (SECOND EDITION)

Critical discourse analysis (CDA) is undeniably a significant and diverse area of linguistic education and research. The increasing number of publications and books being published in this field is the evidence of its growing influence and importance. Norman Fairclough, a renowned British linguistics professor, has been highly influential in the language and power domain, and is widely regarded as the pioneer in the field of CDA. “Language and Power” (Fairclough, 2013) is a notable addition to the “Language in Social Life” series and highlights the critical role of language in comprehending issues of social and professional concerns. The book is highly valued by those who seek to understand how our ways of communication are both impacted by and impact the structures and forces of contemporary social institutions.
