Reviews
""This new edition is an invaluable resource for students of language and power. It gives a clear and concise introduction to theoretical issues of language and power, a full range of tools for analysing texts and discourse, and excellent examples which illustrate how to apply these tools. The new sections on 'tweeting politics', 'truth’ and ‘mediated relations' and the inclusion of a new reading on 'Populism and post-truth politics' by Robin Lakoff are welcome additions which bring the book right up to date with contemporary concerns."" Michael Farrelly, University of Hull, UK ""The addition of new chapters on the language of social media and the discourse of post-truth, as well as the revamping of many of the example texts, all packaged in the innovative four strand 2D structure, make this an outstanding textbook for students of language and discourse studies... a much-needed toolkit for critically analysing many of the important national and international issues of the day.""
