The concept of social power, who holds it and how they use it is a widely debated subject particularly in the field of discourse analysis, and the wider arena of sociolinguistics.In her new book,Joanna Thornborrow< challenges the received notion that power is necessarily held by some speakers and not by others. Through the detailed analysis of communication and interaction within a range of institutional settings, she examines power as an emerging, negotiated phenomenon between participants with different status and goals. Written in a clear style which combines attention to technical detail with accessibility,Power Talk< includesa comprehensive introduction to the theme of power including the analytic approaches to power in language a wide-ranging discussion of theory and practice and, in-depth contemporary case studies.Power Talk is the first book to focus on the topic of power in situated interaction across a range of contexts. As such, it <makes a timely, and important contribution to the debate surrounding social power and language use, and will be of value to both students and researchers alike.
