Beschreibung
Women, Men and Language has long been established as a seminal text in the field of language and gender, providing¿an account of the many ways in which they intersect. Jennifer Coates explores linguistic gender differences and introduces the reader to a wide range of sociolinguistic research in the field. Here reissued as a Routledge Linguistics Classic, this book contains a brand new preface which situates this text in the modern day study of language and gender, covering the postmodern shift in the understanding of gender and language, and assessing the book's impact on the field. It continues to be essential reading for any student or researcher working in the area of language and gender.
