Reviews
""Holtgrave's volume, Language as Social Action, is precisely such a bold attempt, namely, to bring together research from differenct areas with a view to understanding the role that language plays in shaping our social lives. Overall, this volume rises to the challenge of integrating aspects of the field of the social psychology of language from an angle that emphasizes language use as social action. It reads extremely well and is highly informative for any student who would like to enter the field of the social psychology of language."" —Journal of Language and Social Psychology ""Bridging the gap between social psychology and language research, Thomas Holtgraves presents an 'interdisciplinary summary' of the literature on language and social action."" —Discourse Studies ""It is highly recommended for students and researchers who wish to further their knowledge of the social psychological aspects of language use and for those interested in how an interdisciplinary awareness can foster new research questions."" —Issues in Applied Linguistics
