Gender and Discourse (Sage Studies in Discourse) - Tapa blanda

`Ruth Wodak has done a service to all readers interested in language and gender by uniting in a single volume some exciting new papers by most of the world's leading

researchers in the field. A strength of the book is the wide range of ideological,

methodological and theoretical approaches which the authors adopt, which produces

a kind of treasure trove of current work in feminist linguistics. The common theme

that emerges from the papers is that we cannot properly understand language and

gender without integrating into our studies the communicative contexts of discourse' - Jenny Cheshire, University of London

'treasure trove of current work in

feminist linguistics' - Jenny Cheshire,

'This collection of thoughtful, often provocative essays explores a wide range of studies, ideas, and questions about the relationship of language and gender-- central issues in all of our lives' -

Cheris Kramarae, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

`Gender and Discourse is an insightful and thought provoking volume, which addresses itself to some of the most recent areas of theorizing and research in the field. A particular strengh of the collection lies in its use of interdisciplinary research to highlight the dynamism and synergy of this expanding domain' - Feminism & Psychology

Gender and Discourse brings together European, American and Australian traditions of research. Through an analysis of a range of `real' data, the contributors demonstrate the relevance of these theoretical and methodological insights for gender research in particular and social practice in general.
