He examines the ways in which language influences public perception and discourse, highlighting its critical role in political mobilization and identity formation.
Through various case studies and theoretical insights, O'Barr unpacks the sociolinguistic mechanisms at play in political contexts.

This exploration invites readers to reconsider the significance of language in everyday political life.
