Language and Globalization

Language and Globalization explores the effects of language in the processes of

globalization. Norman Fairclough adopts the approach of combining critical discourse

analysis with cultural political economy to develop a new theory of the relationship

between discourse and other dimensions of globalization. Using examples from a variety

of countries such as the USA, Britain, Romania, Hungary and Thailand, Language and

Globalization shows how the analysis of texts can be coherently integrated

within political economic analysis. Fairclough incorporates topical issues such as the

war on terror and the impact of the media on globalization into his discussion.

Areas covered include:

• Globalization and language: review of academic literature

• Discourses of globalization

• The media, mediation and globalization

• Globalization, war and terrorism.

This book will be of interest to students and researchers in applied linguistics, language

and politics and discourse analysis.

Norman Fairclough was formerly Professor of Language in Social Life at Lancaster

University, and is now an Emeritus Professor. His publications include Language and

Power (1989), Discourse and Social Change (1992), New Labour, New Language?

(Routledge, 2000) and Analyzing Discourse (Routledge, 2003). His current research is

focused upon transition, globalization and Europeanization in Eastern Europe.
