Language and Power
Lang & Power – PowerPoint – Introductory summary of the types of power, with examples of situations where power is exercised for discussion (with thanks to the kind person on the EnglishLanguage List who posted the document on which this is based).
http://www.universalteacher.org.uk/lang/power.htm as is so often the case, Andrew Moore put it better than I could. Read his summary of the topic here. If you like paper notes to revise from, this would be a good set to add to your collection.

this may seem a rather silly question, but are the powerpoint presentations saveable? I’ve put all the rest of the resources i can on my laptop but i don’t have access to the internet as much lately and the powerpoints are really good. i don’t know if i’m not doing it right or if i’ve missed something (which is quite likely)
thanks.
erm…..scratch that – i figured it 🙂
Glad to hear it. I did wonder what the problem was.
Incidentally, I’m aware that not everyone has PowerPoint on their machines, but this blogging software won’t let me put the files up as slide-show files that can be viewed on any machine.
If anyone wants to view the files who doesn’t have PowerPoint I can save them in a word processor document format. Just let me know what you want and I’ll happily email it in a format to suit you.
