Language and Power
Advances in Sociolinguistics
Series Editor: Professor Sally Johnson, University of Leeds
Since the emergence of sociolinguistics as a new field of enquiry in the late 1960s,
research into the relationship between language and society has advanced almost beyond
recognition. In particular, the past decade has witnessed the considerable influence of
theories drawn from outside of sociolinguistics itself. Thus rather than seeing language as
a mere reflection of society, recent work has been increasingly inspired by ideas drawn
from social, cultural and political theory that have emphasized the constitutive role
played by language/discourse in all areas of social life. The Advances in Sociolinguistics
series seeks to provide a snapshot of the current diversity of the field of sociolinguistics
and the blurring of the boundaries between sociolinguistics and other domains of study
concerned with the role of language in society.
