"Language is not simply a tool for communication - symbolic power struggles underlie any speech act, discourse move, or verbal interaction -be it in face-to-face conversations, online tweets or political debates.This book provides a clear and accessible introduction to the topic oflanguage and power from an applied linguistics perspective. It is clearlysplit into three sections: the power of symbolic representation, the powerof symbolic action and the power to create symbolic reality. It draws upon awide range of existing work by philosophers, sociolinguists, sociologistsand applied linguists, and includes current real-world examples, to providea fresh insight into a topic that is of particular significance and interestin the current political climate and in our increasingly digital age. Thebook shows the workings of language as symbolic power in educational,social, cultural and political settings and discusses ways to respond to andeven resist symbolic violence"--
