SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Language plays a central role in creating and sustaining the market society - a society in which market exchange is no longer simply a process, but an all-encompassing social principle. The book examines the phenomena from a linguistic and critical perspective, drawing on critical discourse analysis and sociological treatises of market society.
