War and Its Ideologies: A Social-Semiotic Theory and Description (repost)

War and Its Ideologies: A Social-Semiotic Theory and Description by Annabelle Lukin
English | 2019 | 300 Pages | ISBN : 9811309949 | PDF | 4 MB

Ideology is so powerful it makes us believe that war is rational, despite both its brutal means and its devastating ends. The power of ideology comes from its intimate relation to language: ideology recruits all semiotic modalities, but language is its engine-room. Drawing on Halliday’s linguistic theory – in particular, his account of the “semiotic big-bang” - this book explains the latent semiotic machinery of language on which ideology depends.
