Description

Explore the complex relationship between society and language with Verbal Hygiene by Deborah Cameron. Part of the Routledge Linguistics Classics series, this book offers a serious examination of popular attitudes toward language use and the methods people use to regulate it. Rather than viewing the practice of verbal hygiene as merely misguided, Cameron examines how discourse regarding language values - such as what is considered good, bad, right, or wrong - serves a specific function for those involved. Through various case studies, the text investigates how language is controlled in different settings. This academic work provides deep insight into the regulation of style by editors, the instruction of English grammar in educational environments, and various social movements. It is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in the social practices that shape how we communicate and how we judge the speech of others.
