Abstract

Abstract Carol Myers-Scotton has edited a collection of essays that covers the choice of one style of English over another in everything from Bible translations to “surprise in poetry” to supervisor-worker interactions on the automobile assembly line. An important theme developed to varying degrees in these papers is the notion that speakers and writers, as rational actors, exploit the unmarked-marked opposition regarding audience expectations so as to convey messages of intentionality charged with social or psychological import.
