Norman Fairclough is reader in Linguistics at the Lancaster University. He is one of the founders of Critical discourse analysis, a branch of sociolinguistics or discourse analysis that looks at the influence of power relations on the content and structure of texts. He is interested in how social practices are discursively shaped and the discursive effects of social practices.
'Language and Power' (1989; now in a revised second edition 2001) explored the imbrications between language and social institutional practices and of "wider" political and social structures.
Fairclough is influenced by Mikhail Bakhtin, Antonio Gramsci, Michel Foucault, Michael Halliday and Louis Althusser.
Fairclough has supervised many PhDs, including Mary Talbot's work incorporating the 'synthetic sisterhood,' developing the concept of synthetic personalisation.
His book 'New Labour, New Language' looks at the rhetoric used by the political party New Labour in the United Kingdom.
