Social Linguistics and Literacies：Ideology in Discourses

In its first edition, Social Linguistics and Literacies was a major contribution to the emerging interdisciplinary field of sociocultural approaches to language and literacy, and was one of the founding texts of the ‘New Literacy Studies’.

This book serves as a classic introduction to the study of language, learning and literacy in their social, cultural and political contexts. It shows how contemporary sociocultural approaches to language and literacy emerged and:

• Engages with topics such as orality and literacy, the history of literacy, the nature of discourse analysis and social theories of mind and meaning
