Reviews

This book explores the many ways animals are portrayed through the analysis of actual language use from sites such as advertisements, legislation, academic journals, interviews, focus groups, and more. Drawing upon this rich language data, Sealey explores how animals are named, evaluated, represented, and perceived and why it all matters. Comprehensive yet accessible, this book will appeal to readers from many backgrounds. * Robert Poole, Associate Professor, The University of Alabama, USA *
