Description

Deborah Cameron explores how language and discourse contribute to sexism and misogyny in contemporary society. This book examines the evolution of linguistic expressions of prejudice against women over the last fifty years, highlighting both persistent issues and emerging challenges such as online misogynist extremism. Cameron discusses key topics including sexist attitudes towards women's speech, verbal harassment, biases in vocabulary and grammar, and the discourse of the online "manosphere". She also outlines efforts to change sexist language and reports on the progress made so far. This accessible text is informed by scholarship from linguistics, anthropology, history, media studies, and sociology. It provides a valuable survey of ideas, debates, and research for students and general readers interested in language and gender.
