Language in Social Worlds Reviews

"I enjoyed reading this book. It provides a useful and comprehensive collection of different approaches to language and their relationships and implications for social psychology. Through his careful balance of both literature and anecdotal stories, the reader is given an accessible overview into the area." Abigail Locke, University of Derby, Social Psychological Review, October 2003
