The contributors to this collection offer an essential introduction to the ways in which feminist linguistics and critical discourse analysis have contributed to our understanding of gender and sex. By examining how these perspectives have been applied to these concepts, the contributors provide both a review of the literature, as well as an opportunity to follow the most recent debates in this area.Gender and Discourse brings together European, American and Australian traditions of research. Through an analysis of a range of 'real' data, the contributors demonstrate the relevance of these theoretical and methodological insights for gender research in particular and social practice in general. Issues about power, racism and the gender-sex debate are discussed from a purely theoretical standpoint, while the volume goes on to focus on gendered discourse in both the public and private domains - the workplace, as well as the family. In addition, a number of studies from a more ethnographic point of view are provided, illustrating the impact of culture on the discursive construction of gender. Gende and Discourse will be essential reading for students of linguistics, gender and psychology.
