Description
Mary Talbot's Language and Gender provides a comprehensive introduction to the field of linguistics, exploring how language is used to construct and perform gender. This third edition has been thoroughly revised to reflect recent research and developments in the area. The book is organized into three parts, covering early studies in the field, language use by women and men in various speech situations, and the construction and performance of gender in discourse. Talbot examines a range of approaches at an introductory level, presenting complex issues in a clear and accessible manner. Each chapter concludes with recommended readings for further study. Suitable for students and researchers in linguistics, sociolinguistics, cultural studies, media studies, and communication studies, Language and Gender remains an essential textbook for understanding the relationship between language and gender.
