LANGUAGE and COMMUNICATION CLICHES
Laurie Taylor talks till the cows come home with the doyen of cultural studies, Professor Richard Hoggart and socio-linguist, Professor Deborah Cameron, on the subject of communication and its cornucopia of cliché.
They discuss why we all reach for ready-made expressions in every day speech, what this everyday language reveals about individual identity, its effect on thought processes and the uses and dangers of the new idioms of today’s burgeoning communications skills industry.
THE SOCIOLOGY OF MORALS
Laurie Taylor is taken on an express trip through Western political philosophy in the company of Professor Steven Lukes, sociologist and satirist, whose favourite pastime is confronting liberal thought with its own limitations.
