Language, Theory and Society

Language, Theory and Society explores current approaches to the linguistic, cultural and social interpretation of texts in contexts of English. The book revolves around a constellation of topics investigated from multiple disciplinary and methodological perspectives ranging from Multimodality, CDA, Corpus Linguistics, Pragmatics to Translation, Literature and Cultural Studies. Each chapter provides detailed reading of a particular text or event, underlining some key methodologies for the critical analysis of language and society. Indeed, much can be revealed about specific discourses in order to raise questions about the relationship between language and culture, or even language, power and ideology.
