MAYORA PERNIA, Carlos Alberto. Contributions from applied linguistics to the study of power. Leng. [online]. 2015, vol.43, n.1, pp.57-83. ISSN 0120-3479.

There are two strong trends in the social sciences today: a) a growing interest in the study of power as a sociopolitical phenomenon; b) the interdisciplinary approach of this and other social issues.

Keywords : power; applied linguistics; geopolitics; discourse analysis.
