<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Submissions are invited for an interdisciplinary, edited collection involving contributions from economists and linguists, the over-arching aim of which is critically
to investigate contemporary discourses of austerity.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">In the immediate aftermath of the financial crisis of 2008 governments around the developed world coordinated policy moves to stimulate economic activity and avert a
depression. However, in subsequent years the perceived need to control government debt became the dominant narrative in public debate on economic policy. Cuts to public expenditure, or austerity, were seen as necessary to avert disaster, on both sides of the
Atlantic, and few players in mainstream public discourse have offered a coherent alternative policy prescription.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">In this context, we are particularly interested in exploring attitudes towards and arguments about austerity, as played out in media, academic and policy settings.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">This volume offers a unique opportunity for collaboration between economists and linguists, as well as a venue in which economic and linguistic approaches can be compared.
We therefore invite contributions from individual economists and linguists, but also strongly encourage coauthored papers that demonstrate the value of working across disciplines.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
