Language, Discourse and Social Psychology

Palgrave Advances

by Ann Weatherall (Editor), Bernadette M. Watson (Editor), Cindy Gallois (Editor)

Language and communication are central features of social behaviour. So, it is somewhat surprising that the social psychological study of language, communication and discourse has a relatively short history. In this book a leading group of language, discourse and social psychology scholars will overview the history, theories and methods of the field. However, the main focus is on current developments in the social psychology of language and discourse, showcasing cutting edge empirical work.
