Bourdieu argues that language should be viewed not only as a means of communication, but also as a medium of power. He also attacks the more traditional approaches to language and criticizes, in particular, the linguistic theories of Saussure and Chomsky. Applying his distinctive and highly influential theoretical approach Bourdieu sheds fresh light on the ways in which linguistic usage varies according to considerations such as class and gender. He also offers a new approach to understanding the way in which language is used in the domain of politics.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley and Sons Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45321166160023,"sku":"9780745610344","price":2135.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780745610344.webp?v=1769289141","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/language-and-symbolic-power-9780745610344","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
