<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear all,<BR>(apologies for cross
posting)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><BR>the first issue of SLC is now online.<BR><A

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Studies in Language and Capitalism is a
peer-reviewed online journal that seeks to promote and freely distribute
interdisciplinary critical inquiries into the language and meaning of
contemporary capitalism and the links between economic, social and linguistic
change in the world around us. The journal is a project of the LNC group
listserv and stems from our shared concern regarding the global spread of new
economic ideologies and specifically the way that neoliberals attempt to
naturalise, and hence entrench, social, political and economic inequalities. It
is our hope that various groups of people will use and contribute to the
journal, including: researchers analysing language in use, activists in social
movements who see language use as part of their concerns, journalists concerned
with language and rhetoric, and social researchers in other fields where the
politics of language use is an issue.<BR></FONT></DIV>
