Language, Ideology and Point of View by Paul Simpson
This systematic introduction to the concept of point of view in language explores the ways in which point of view intersects with and is shaped by ideology. It specifically focuses on the way in which speakers and writers linguistically encode their beliefs, interests and biases in a wide range of media. The book draws on an extensive array of linguistic theories and frameworks and each chapter includes a self-contained introduction to a particular topic in linguistics, allowing easy reference. The author uses examples from a variety of literary and non-literary text types such as, narrative fiction, advertisements and newspaper reports.Paul Simpson is the best-selling author of the Rough Guides to Cult Cinema, Elvis Presley, and Lord of the Rings. He was the founding editor of the magazine FourFourTwo. At a pub quiz, he's the kind of guy you'd go to great efforts to have on your side.
