Reviews

Schulze and Pishwa successfully present a workable framework to help us understand and explore the expression of power relations. Furthermore their comprehensive, cross-discipline approach makes for a diverse set of fascinating case studies. ... Even for those not well-versed in linguistic subfields, this collection offers an excellent insight into the use and manipulation of language. (Communication Director, Vol. 4, 2015)
