There is a variety of ways to explore recent approaches to the language and politics connection, and each problematic suggested vjuld encourage a discussion of different issues and different literatures. The boundary strategies represented by this essay are encouraged by my vocation as a social scientist in general and a political scientist in particular.

With respect to the second, I shall be “reading” the problem of language within a politically oriented code.
