This issue explores some of the ways in which gender, as a social
construction, might be rooted in and contingent on conversational
processes in childhood. The interconnections between language and
gender in three key developmental sociolinguistic contexts are
examined: talk between parent and child, talk among friends, and
talk between siblings. When children learn to speak a language,
they also learn to use it in ways that can reflect, resist, or
ignore their culture's norms of acceptable feminine and masculine
behavior. The authors of these articles explore the concept of talk
as a medium in which both young children and the adults in their
world "do" gender. This collection should act as a springboard for
more thinking about ways to untangle gender and context, and to
show their interconnectedness as well.
