Paperback. Condición: New. Reprint. "As funny as it is informative, this book will have you laughing out loud while you contemplate the revolutionary power of words." -Camille Perri, author of The Assistants and When Katie Met CassidyA brash, enlightening, and wildly entertaining work of pop linguistics and a feminist look at gendered language and the way it shapes us.The word bitch conjures many images, but it is most often meant to describe an unpleasant woman. Even before its usage to mean "a female canine," bitch didn't refer to women at all-it originated as a gender-neutral word for "genitalia." A perfectly innocuous word devolving into an insult directed at females is the case for tons more terms, including hussy, which simply meant "housewife"; and slut, which meant "an untidy person" and was also used to describe men. These are just a few of history's many English slurs hurled at women.Amanda Montell, reporter and feminist linguist, deconstructs language-from insults, cursing, gossip, and catcalling to grammar and pronunciation patterns-to reveal the ways it has been used for centuries to keep women and other marginalized genders from power. Ever wonder why so many people are annoyed when women speak with vocal fry or use like as filler? Or why certain gender-neutral terms stick and others don't? Or where stereotypes of how women and men speak come from in the first place?Montell effortlessly moves between history, science, and popular culture to explore these questions-and how we can use the answers to affect real social change. Her irresistible humor shines through, making the field of sociolinguistics not only approachable but downright hilarious and profound. Wordslut EPB gets to the heart of our language, marvels at its elasticity, and sheds much-needed light on the sexism in language and the biases that shadow women in our culture and our consciousness.This hilarious and whip-smart journey into the field of sociolinguistics uncovers:Gendered Insults: Discover the surprising and often shocking origins of slurs like slut, hussy, and bitch-and what it means to reclaim them.Vocal Fry and Uptalk: Unpack the real linguistic power behind so-called "annoying" speech habits, from vocal fry to using "like" as a filler, and learn why young women are linguistic innovators.Language and Power: Explore how everything from catcalling to grammar rules has been used for centuries to keep women and other marginalized genders away from power.Feminist Linguistics: Arm yourself with the hilarious and profound insights of a feminist linguist who makes complex topics not only approachable but laugh-out-loud funny.…
