Abstract:

This book explores how political economy intersects with sociolinguistics,
specifically how neoliberalism, inequality and social class mediate language
in society issues. After the preface, in which the author sets the scene for
the content of the book, Chapter 1 is an extensive, though selective, review
of sociolinguistics research which has been framed as political economic in
orientation. The chapter concludes that such research generally contains
little in the way of thorough and in-depth coverage of the key ideas and
conceptual frameworks said to undergird it. With this consideration in mind,
Chapters 2, 3 and 4 are organised around in-depth discussions of,
respectively, political economy as a general disciplinary frame; neoliberalism
as the variegated variety of capitalism dominant in the world today; and
stratification, inequality and social class, as phenomena intrinsic to
capitalism, which in the neoliberal era have come to the fore as key issues.
Drawing directly on the background provide in Chapters 2-4, Chapters 5 and 6
explore two distinct political economy-informed lines of research, on the one
hand, the 'neoliberal citizen', and on the other hand, 'discursive class
warfare'. The book ends with an epilogue addressing issues arising around
political economy in sociolinguistics.
