Preferred term

language and politics  

Definition

  • Anthropologists, social psychologists, and linguists have long known that language is not usefully thought of as a mechanism that conveys meaning all by itself. Meaning, political and otherwise, is always a function of the context from which it springs. [Source: The Encyclopedia of Political Science; Language and Politics]
