Annotation

A wide variety of essays on the way in which language functions in social and political practice. Variations in types of discourse are said to be related to social and economic factors, and language usage is shown to be part of the social process. From this point of view, a wide variety of materials is investigated: newspapers, printed rules and regulations, interviews, greeting cards, etc.
