Abstract:
In this carefully researched, thought-provoking book, Geoffrey Hughes
examines the trajectory of political correctness and its impact on public
life. Focusing on the historical, semantic, and cultural aspects of
political correctness, it will intrigue anyone interested in this ongoing
debate.
* A unique and intriguing journey through the trajectory of political
correctness and its impact on public life, focusing on the historical,
semantic, and cultural aspects of what PC means
* Explores the origins, progress, content and style of political
correctness, discussing and analyzing around one hundred terms and lexical
formations, from Chaucer and Shakespeare, Marlowe and Swift, to nursery
rhymes, rap and Spike Lee films, David Mamet, J. M. Coetzee and Philip Larkin
* Offers a detailed semantic analysis of the way that key words have been
exploited both to advance the agendas of political correctness and to
refute them

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact
your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company
operates such a program.
