Updated and restructured new edition of a textbook for courses in language and gender which is accessible to non-linguists.
Penelope Eckert is Professor of Linguistics and Anthropology at Stanford University, where she has also directed the program in Feminist Studies. Sally McConnell-Ginet is Professor Emerita of Linguistics at Cornell University, where she directed the Women's Studies program.
'This is no ordinary textbook. Eckert and McConnell-Ginet, two of
the most important scholars writing in sociolinguistics and
semantics today, have established a new direction for research in
the field of language and gender. There is a reason that this now
classic text is being reissued in second edition: no other book in
this field makes a more convincing case for the crucial
interdependence of language, gender, and sexuality in the formation
of diverse twenty-first-century subjectivities. Revised to include
all the provocative research directions of the last decade, this
new edition of Language and Gender is a must-read for students and
scholars who are engaged in the grounded analytics of social life.'
Kira Hall, University of Colorado
'… Language and Gender is a much needed work, and a much needed new
edition in these changing times. Kira Hall's endorsement on the
back cover employs two key terms: convincing and provocative. To
which I add: absolutely necessary.' Mariaelena Bartesaghi, Journal
of Language and Politics
