Overview

Focuses on the mutually constitutive relation between society and language use. This book provides a sketch of the intellectual antecedents of two 'mother disciplines', viz, linguistics and social theory before pointing at the common ground in the rising attention for discourse and what has come to be called 'late-modernity'.
