Power Exercise explores the various choices speakers or communicators make when expressing power relations in modern societies. The volume brings together several disciplines, such as linguistics, sociology, communication studies and social psychology, to give insight into how interactants co-construct different aspects of power in their everyday life. The chapters reveal that the power potential of linguistic elements is dependent on context and is by no means fixed or predetermined, which provides implications for research methodology.
Recenzijos
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)
