Description

Explore the complex relationship between language and social power with Authority in Language: Investigating Standard English. Part of the Routledge Linguistics Classics series, this work by James and Lesley Milroy examines the controversial debate surrounding correct and incorrect language usage. This text provides a deep look into the long-running discussions regarding the teaching of Standard English in Britain. By comparing language ideologies in both Britain and the USA, the authors examine significant cultural movements, including the English-Only movement and the Ebonics controversy. Readers will gain insight into the historical process of standardization and the real-world social consequences that follow. The book specifically addresses how language traits can lead to discrimination against ethnic minority groups and low-status communities. It is an essential resource for those studying sociolinguistics, language policy, and the social impact of linguistic norms.
