An exploration of &quot;social semantics,&quot; ManT &quot;shows explicitly that literary language is a material form of social practice.&quot; With diction similar to that of more controversial texts, LGWP is about the policing of &quot;orders of discourse.&quot; Engaging the uprisings of 1381, NPT is a radical, vernacular reflection of the struggle for social representation and empowerment.]]></dcterms:description>
