Description
Language and Gender: Exploring the Relationship Between Language and Our Ideas About Men and Women. This book examines the complex relationship between language and our perceptions of gender, challenging common views on the subject. It highlights the individual's role in expressing and perpetuating gender stereotypes, using a diverse range of text types such as personal ads, wildlife documentaries, literary fiction, and classical music programmes. A comprehensive glossary of terms is also included. The new edition has been updated with additional chapters, including one on Gender, discourse, and identities, and incorporates international examples, texts, and images to further illustrate the complexities of language and gender.
