520 |a This book looks at the way in which the meanings of the words tolerance, discrimination, equality, freedom, rights, radical, liberal and homophobia have changed in the English language. Kirk claims that changes in the meaning of words amount to an abuse of language 'when people begin to use language ... in order to alter perceptions of correct or allowable behaviour'. This book will be of interest to those wishing to understand the current ways in which social issues are presented in English language discussions. (English)
