Standard English And The Politics Of Language by Tony Crowley
The Politics of Language
This insightful work delves into the intricate relationship between language and power, exploring how "Standard English" has been historically constructed and manipulated to serve political and social agendas. It examines the implications of linguistic standardization on identity, class, and cultural hegemony, highlighting the ways in which language can be used as a tool for both inclusion and exclusion. Through a critical lens, the book challenges readers to reconsider the assumptions surrounding linguistic norms and the broader socio-political contexts that shape them.
