Abstract

There is the closest of links between language and power; between language that assembles and language that disassembles and between language that occupies and language that emancipates. The outcomes of language are not inherently occupying or emancipating but unfold in practice. Language users construct systems of meaning that can both challenge and reinforce the status quo.
