Language and power form a symbiosis that has been forever explored and debated by philosophers, poets and linguists. Power shapes languages and languages generate power. Language defines humanity and represents its unique communication system. But its true power lies in transferring information, constructing histories, cultures and identities, setting up networks, channeling emotions and defining esthetics. Language has power over us, and we succumb to its rules. Language is exploited in politics, media and advertising to manipulate and control. Living in and using language presupposes social and emotional engagement. Language and Power analyzes essays on language, power and violence by thinkers such as Orwell, Zizek, Chomsky and others, and dwells on questions such as: Do all humans have language"? Are those with writing more powerful than those without it? Do we all have the right to speak a maternal tongue and form a community around it? Are multilinguals more powerful than monolinguals? For a language to become powerful does it depend on social management? Et al."
