In this handy A to Z guide to language and literacy, Ronald Carter unpicks the meaning of key terms like "proper English," "real books," "text" and "discourse," and the ways in which such concepts are used--and abused--by teachers, politicians, linguists, journalists and employers. Each concise definition is cross-referenced and supported by extensive examples and by references to further reading. Designed as a dictionary, but possessing an encyclopedic range,Keywords in Language and Literacyprovides an invaluable guide to the debates surrounding language and literacy and will prove an indispensable source for anyone interested in the place of language in our schools.
