This module had a fair amount of associated
reading, which got interspersed with that for the essay (as did units 5 and 7).
My notes are even more slipshod than normal then, so this’ll be short.
Basically this is about power politics and
the projection of ‘soft power’ through linguistics, isn’t it?
My notes contain the word ‘prestige’
numerous times, and ‘WHO?’ quite a lot. Sometimes ‘WHOSE?’ as well, often quite
close to ‘prestige’. Also power. So those are clearly the main themes. You didn’t
want details, did you?
They also say I should link to this video (0:30) –
Any questions?
