ABSTRACT
Given the significance of actual language use, and meaning-making more generally, in politics since at least the rise of rhetoric in Ancient Greece, and the ever more discursive nature of late modern politics in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, The Routledge Handbook of Language and Politics contributes a single-volume reference work to this field. More specifically, this handbook adds to existing scholarship by providing a comprehensive overview of influential theoretical approaches, as well as common methodologies, classic genres and contributions on salient, socio-cultural challenges. 1
