  • DESCRIPTION

    Language and Power Digital edition is an introduction to how English is used to influence, persuade and position us within hierarchies. It is suitable for students at advanced level and beyond. Written with input from the Cambridge English Corpus, it looks at the linguistic techniques where language is used to exert influence, exploring how contexts affect the language we use. Using short activities to help explain analysis methods, this digital resource guides students through major modern issues and concepts. It summarises key concerns and findings, while providing inspiration for language investigations and non-examined assessments (NEAs) with research suggestions.
