The Journal of Language and Politics (JLP) represents a forum for
analysing and discussing the various dimensions in the interplay of
language and politics. The basic assumption is that the language of
politics cannot be separated from the politics of language. The notion of
‘Political Discourse’ does not remain limited to the ’institutional’ field
of politics (e.g. parliamentary discourse, election campaigns, party

The Journal of Language and Politics is associated with the book series

conceived above. If you are interested in reviewing any recent, relevant
text please email Christopher.hart@northumbria.ac.uk and we can
arrange for a copy to be sent to you.
