  This book has a great track record; of its kind its the best on the market. - Deborah Cameron, University of Strathclyde
  This influential and widely used book has been extensively revised and includes a new chapter on linguistic discrimination on the basis of class, race and ethnicity. Other topics covered include:
  * National Curriculum and arguments about linguistic correctness *
  * new varieties of English (including African American English)
  * attitudes to language
  These revisions ensure Authority in Language remains topical and up-to-date.
