About this book
Talking Power: The Politics of Language by Lakoff, Robin T.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780465083589.
Why is unintelligibility so valued in academia? How can a joke thats funny in one culture be an insult in another? In this book, a linguist answers these and other questions, revealing the ways in which what we say and how we say it help us to accomplish our aims.
