How We Talk about Animals, and Why It Matters : The Power of Discourse

The Power of Discourse

"Providing a fascinating insight into the way we talk about animals, this book brings together new material from scientific studies and popular culture to explore the relationships between humans and other animals. It will appeal to a wide readership in light of the climate crisis and awareness of the loss of biodiversity both globally and locally. Demonstrating how animals are represented in contemporary English, this book draws on data from a wide range of genres and contexts including interviews with professional communicators about animals and focus groups involving people with different experiences of, and attitudes towards, animals in various contexts"-- Provided by publisher.
