Understanding Utterances
This was quite informative and refreshing. I especially appreciated the further reading materials cited as the book doesn't delve deeper into each topic. It covers topics from the definition of language to its relation to ideology, politics, its use in the media, how it's used to vis-Ã -vis gender, age, social class...etc
