Riassunto

Talk is crucial to the way our identities are constructed, altered, and defended. Feminist scholars in particular have only begun to investigate how deeply language reflects and shapes who we think we are. This volume of previously unpublished essays advances that effort by bringing together stellar feminist scholars in the area of language and gender such as Deborah Tannen, Jennifer Coates, and Marcyliena Morgan, as well as rising younger scholars, to tackle such topics as African-American drag queens, gender and class on the shopping channel, and talk in the workplace. It should have a strong appeal to linguists (sociolinguists, and language and gender scholars), as well as anthropologists, sociologists and those in queer studies.

Recensione

Given the maturity of language and gender as a field of study, a series devoted to it is long overdue and most welcome. The maturity of the field is reflected in the scope of this first volume on identity formation and in its engagement with theory...Overall, this is an impressive collection, which makes a useful contribution to the reworking of language and gender studies. It is particularly successful in bringing recent feminist theory to bear on earlier feminist and pre-feminist linguistics, and in continuing to bring together research on bad subjects - marginal voices and emergent transgressive identities.
