Editing Mountain Language (section)

==Thematic relevance of language==
Like the world of Pinter's 1984 play ''[[One for the Road (Harold Pinter play)|One for the Road]]'', the world of this play exposes the power of language (Merritt 171–209; 275; Grimes 80–100).  
Pinter's play may allude to political and cultural contexts of Great Britain in the 1980s headed by the [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative Party]] of [[Margaret Thatcher]], which, for example, [[1988–1994 British broadcasting voice restrictions|forbade]] the television networks from broadcasting the voice of the leader of [[Sinn Féin]], [[Gerry Adams]].<ref>
