Rooted in the performative of Speech Act Theory, this
interdisciplinary study crafts a new model to compare the work we do
with words when we protest: across genres, from different geographies
and languages. Rich with illustrative examples from Turkey, U.S., West
Germany, Romania, Guatemala, Great Britain, and Northern Ireland, it
examines the language of protest (chants, songs, poetry and prose)
with an innovative use of analytical tools that will advance current
theory. Operating at the intersection of linguistic pragmatics and
critical discourse analysis this book provides fresh insights on
interdisciplinary topics including power, identity, legitimacy and the
Social Contract. In doing so it will appeal to students and scholars
of sociolinguistics, pragmatics and critical discourse analysis, in
addition to researchers working in sociology, political science,
discourse, cultural and communication studies.
