Rövid leírás:

Kramsch combines insights from linguistics, anthropology and sociology to show how language represents and constructs social reality.

Hosszú leírás:
Language is not simply a tool for communication - symbolic power struggles underlie any speech act, discourse move, or verbal interaction, be it in face-to-face conversations, online tweets or political debates. This book provides a clear and accessible introduction to the topic of language and power from an applied linguistics perspective. It is clearly split into three sections: the power of symbolic representation, the power of symbolic action and the power to create symbolic reality. It draws upon a wide range of existing work by philosophers, sociolinguists, sociologists and applied linguists, and includes current real-world examples, to provide a fresh insight into a topic that is of particular signi&&&64257;cance and interest in the current political climate and in our increasingly digital age. The book shows the workings of language as symbolic power in educational, social, cultural and political settings and discusses ways to respond to and even resist symbolic violence.

'In this remarkable, wide-ranging, yet readable book, Claire Kramsch asks what it takes for language learners and users not just to be understood, but to be valued, taken seriously, treated with respect. This is a question - all too often silenced in language education and applied linguistics - of symbolic power, of being listened to rather than just heard. It is an inquiry of great significance.' Alastair Pennycook, Distinguished Professor of Language, Society and Education, University of Technology Sydney
