Review Quotes: "Matt Davies' book is an excellent contribution towards research on the function and structure of constructed oppositions in ideological texts. Davies' framework adeptly shows how constructed opposites can be identified and classified, using case studies to demonstrate that oppositions are often used in complex and subtle ways that may not be detected by readers." --Dr Paul Baker, Lancaster University, UK
