Gender Articulated : Language and the Socially Constructed Self, Paperback / softback Book

Gender Articulated : Language and the Socially Constructed Self Paperback / softback

Edited by Kira Hall, Mary Bucholtz

Paperback / softback

Description

Gender Articulated is a groundbreaking work of sociolinguistics that forges new connections between language-related fields and feminist theory.

Refuting apolitical, essentialist perspectives on language and gender, the essays presented here examine a range of cultures, languages and settings.

They explicitly connect feminist theory to language research. Some of the most distinguished scholars working in the field of language and gender today discuss such topics as Japanese women's appropriation of "men's language," the literary representation of lesbian discourse, the silencing of women on the Internet, cultural mediation and Spanish use at New Mexican weddings and the uses of silence in the Anita Hill-Clarence Thomas hearings.
