It accords an analytical priority to language-use and provides a critical review of a number of contemporary studies and approaches as part of an emerging presentation of an original and distinctive method.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book makes a significant contribution to the recovery for social science of the achievements of a set of Marxist psychologists and philosophers of language - most notably L.S. Vygotsky and V.N. Voloshinov - whose potential relevance for political sociology has barely been recognised. It tests and demonstrates the relevance of the approach it seeks to develop in relation to empirical studies - most notably the Upper Clyde Shipbuilders 'work-in' of 1971-72 and the Scottish Office-led urban policy 'Partnership' in Ferguslie Park, Paisley in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Ultimately, the analytical focus on language becomes a key component of a larger mode of social investigation which begins from an analysis of changing patterns of language-use - one which 'turns' to language without embracing the 'linguistic turn'.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47616227541143,"sku":"9780367134822","price":10332.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780367134822.webp?v=1775111949","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/language-ideology-and-social-consciousness-developing-a-sociohistorical-approach-9780367134822","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
