Deborah Cameron teaches in the Programme in Literary Linguistics at Strathclyde University. She is editor of The Feminist Critique of Language and co-authored Researching Language, both available from Routledge.
Review:
'Cameron's new book should be on every ET reader's reading list. The book is written in a personal way, with anecdotes and a sense of the human writer behind the printed page, and many of the stories and examples are amusing. It's a good read.' - English Today
'Cameron provides us with some excellent teaching materials and some remarkable examples of public statements about language in use. Most important, she leaves us in no doubt about the normative and ideological nature of language in social affairs and the failure of some language experts who have become involved in educational matters to take full account of the practical importance of these things.' - James Milroy, Journal of Sociolinguistics
