Verbal Hygiene by Deborah Cameron

Verbal Hygiene by Deborah Cameron

This reissue will include a new foreword and an afterword which will address the original need for the book and developments which have occurred since publishing the book.

‘Professor Cameron’s book is a deeply-absorbing, brilliantly-written discussion of linguistically-manifested social attitudes’

Barbara Allen, University of Brighton, UK

‘Written clearly, and in a very accessible style – beneath the ease with which you can read the book, there are substantial issues that provide interesting challenges to linguists and teachers of linguistics.’

Miriam Meyerhoff, University of Auckland, New Zealand

‘The book deserves to be classed as a 'classic'. First and foremost, it defined and established the concept/term of 'verbal hygiene', which is widely used to this day in a variety of sociolinguistic contexts. Secondly, it continues to provoke and inspire some fifteen years after its publication - which is what a classic ought to do.’

Stavroula Varella, University of Chichester, UK
