Fighting Words! is a critical exploration of all kinds of "bad language" and how that language shapes, reinforces, or subverts identity, ideology, and power. Eric Louis Russell expertly investigates facets of taboo language to define key concepts from interdisciplinary material drawing on diverse interdisciplinary material to define key concepts and using them to examine the complex dynamics behind a wide range of examples from popular culture, from Donald Trump's controversies to Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion's WAP.
What emerges from this analysis is the intersectionality of how language is performed; how it contributes to the shaping of identity, and simultaneously shapes and is shaped by social attitudes, cultural assumptions, and systems of power with regard to race, sexuality, and gender.
With fascinating "A Closer Look" boxes and a rich array of pedagogical features, this is the perfect text for advanced students and researchers in sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, and related fields.
