Abstract:

Using Taiwan as a case study, this book constructs an innovative theory of a
political sociology of language. Through documentary and ethnographic data and
a comparative-historical method the book illustrates how language mediates
interactions between society and the state and becomes politicized as a
result; how language, politics and power are intertwined processes; and how
these processes are not isolated in institutions but socially embedded.
