By bringing together this set of topics and highlighting how they are interrelated, the book will function well as a textbook on any applied or sociolinguistic course in which some or all of these various aspects of the politics of language are covered. The chapter headings include: How politics permeates language (and vice-versa) Language and nation The social politics of language choice and linguistic correctness Politics embedded in language Taboo language and its restriction Rhetoric, propaganda and interpretation Power, hegemony and choices  aLinguistics General  aLanguage policy  aLanguage and languages Political  aHommes politiques Langage et langues  aJohn Earl Joseph
