This edited volume conducts linguistic and literary analyses of the discourse involving race, religion and royalty (3R) in Malaysia. Grounded in Discourse Studies, it reveals the language features and strategies that articulate the vitality of 3R in historical and contemporary texts in English and Malay. The chapters employ language-based approaches to generate empirical explanations on 3R in multiple contexts. This volume is of interest to scholars, advanced undergraduate students and graduate students in Language, Linguistics and Literature to understand the discursive contours of race, religion and royalty in Asia.
