Summary:

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.
