Description

The Declaration of Independence states that all men are created equal in the United States, but that statement does not hold true for words. Some words carry more weight than others--they seem to work harder, get more done, and demand more respect. <em>Political Keywords: Using Language that Uses Us</em> looks at eight dominant words that are crucial to American political discourse, and how they have been employed during the last fifty years. Based on an analysis of eleven separate studies of political language, <em>Political Keywords</em> helps readers to understand what these terms mean and how they are used.
