Around the world, government ministries have re-defined themselves as "service providers," universities draw up "market-driven" curricula, job seekers are asked to "package themselves" more effectively, and there are advertising agencies specialising in "the Christian marketplace." And it is not only word choice that is effected; higher-level linguistic patterns, such as genres and discursive practices (witness, for example, the text and talk connected with performance measurement and public relations), are also drawn into the orbit of market forces. Through an intricate dialectic, such patterns of linguistic choices, in turn, reinforce the social structures that shape them, further consolidating the marketization process. In a related development, language within the business domain itself is increasingly shaped by strategic planning and control, for example in branding, message design, and the promulgation of management buzzwords. Marketization thus emerges as a globally unfolding process in which language holds a key position as both cause and effect, and as both subject and object. The book examines these phenomena from a linguistic and critical perspective, drawing on critical discourse analysis, sociological treatises of market society, and critical management studies. 410 0$aRoutledge critical studies in discourse ;$v2. 606 $aSociolinguistics 606 $aDiscourse analysis 606 $aCapitalism$xSocial aspects 606 $aLanguage and languages$xEconomic aspects 606 $aDominance (Psychology) 615 0$aSociolinguistics. 615 0$aDiscourse analysis. 615 0$aCapitalism$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aDominance (Psychology) 676 $a306.44 676 $a401.41 700 $aMautner$b Gerlinde$f1963-$01601647 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810185403321 996 $aLanguage and the market society$93925317 997 $aUNINA
