"Hegemony Takes No Prisoners"

Probably the most genius thing about the concept of hegemony is how you're not allowed to think it's not a thing...because that's what it wants you to think!!

"We disagree about the choices people make about their language use. For

RP such choices are typically imposed externally. For me they are typically

decisions made by individuals. I prefer to view people as independent

beings, capable of acting in their own best interests with regard to language

use. RP sees that as hegemonic, to which, of course, I have no reply since

hegemony takes no prisoners." - Alan Davies
