"Focusing on three main areas: the global spread of English; Standard English; and language and sexism, this book offers a major reappraisal of the role of language in the social world. In debate with theoretical approaches which underplay language's social function, Holborrow shows how the politics of English arise from both the ideological role of language in society and also interpretations of the nature of language."--BOOK JACKET.
