Annotation

B. gives many examples of language use, by which he demonstrates the power aspects of symbolic interaction. As a theoretical framework, B. chooses the work by R.Rommetveit, in which language and language use are explicitly studied from a communication perspective and as embedded or integrated in more comprehensive social contexts.
