Language, Gender, and Sexuality

Language, Gender, and Sexuality provides an accessible introduction to how linguistic patterns relate to social categories of gender and sexuality, illustrating how speakers use language to express and navigate these identities. Updated with the latest developments, including discussions on media, political discourse, and social issues like harassment, the book draws on international examples to explore the ways language shapes and reflects gender and sexuality. Designed for students new to linguistics and gender studies, it features new sections, discussion questions, and online resources to support learning.
