Description
Work within the field of language and gender has concentrated almost exclusively on women. Yet, despite more than two decades of research, what has really been learned about language with specific reference to men and masculinity? Is it realistic to assume that men's use of language simply constitutes the mirror image of what have been considered typically female patterns of interaction? In what ways does the study of language throw new light upon traditional assumptions surrounding language and gender? This volume provides a comprehensive investigation into these and other key issues relating to the language characteristics of men. It is suitable as a basis for courses on language, gender and discourse analysis.

Description
Feminist linguistics has come of age. Yet, in more than two decades of research, male speaking patterns have largely been taken for granted. This is the first extensive account of men's language - of male ways of speaking and of language in the construction of masculinity.
