'The book is of immense value to young researchers as well as undergraduates. All the chapters are well referenced and the relevance of the approach is illustrated with case studies in Parts IV and V. (...) The book is a model of inter-disciplinary research and should be read closely by those interested in language and politics.' - Georgi Asatryan, Plekhanov Russian University of Economics, John Benjamins Publishing Company
