A career that spans some forty years, Lakoff remains one of the most influential linguists of the 20th-century. The early papers show the genesis of Lakoff's inquiry into the relationship of language and social power, ideas later codified in the groundbreaking \u003cem\u003eLanguage and Woman's Place and Talking Power\u003c\/em\u003e. The late papers reflect her continued exposition of power dynamics beyond gender that are established and represented in language. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis volume offers a retrospective analysis of Lakoff's work, with each paper preceded by an introduction from a prominent linguist in the field, including both contemporaries and students of Lakoff's work, and further, Lakoff's own conversation with these responses. This engaging and, at times, moving reevaluation pays homage to Lakoff's far-reaching influence upon linguistics, while also serving as an unusual form of autobiography revealing the decades' long evolution of a scholarly career.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robin Tolmach Lakoff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0195119894\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780195119893\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/24\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 424\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2017","brand":"Robin Tolmach Lakoff","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44054645244159,"sku":"9780195119893","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8e5a7509-3d1b-47f1-9258-b0bd39b43581.jpg?v=1685031157","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/context-counts-robin-tolmach-lakoff-9780195119893","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
