Gruber, David R. (Hrsg.): The Routledge Handbook of Language and Science

This state-of-the-art volume offers comprehensive coverage of socio-cultural approaches to science as well as analysing new theoretical developments and incorporating discussions about future directions within the field. This handbook is an essential reference for anyone with an interest in this area.'A compelling account of science as a socially situated, discursive and rhetorical practice in which language plays a crucial role. Gruber and Olman have skilfully blended the voices of authoritative scholars in the fields of rhetoric, linguistics, science communication, and science education to produce an engaging volume that provides a remarkable map of the terrain.'
