摘要：What is a book like this - on the language we use when referring to our fellow animals -
doing in the Review section of a journal for language educators and researchers? The
book is here because language is powerful ¨C it reflects and shapes how we think and act,
and language is ever-changing (Crystal, 1995; Halliday, 1978; Whorf, 1956). The power
of language and its changing nature make language an area of contention in which
activists for societal transformation seek to use language as a tool for change and
advocates of the status quo seek to resist change. Language educators are inevitably
involved, whether we want to be or not, and language researchers may find such areas
fertile grounds for investigation.
