This highly accessible collection of articles presents a selection
of Deborah Cameron's work on language, gender and sex in one single
volume. Arranged thematically, this book covers major developments
in Anglo-American feminist linguistics, and Cameron's responses to
these, spanning the last twenty years.
The collection's overarching theme is the political relationship
between language and gender: four distinctly themed sections
demonstrate that a variety of forces affect gender relations, and
gender representations, in different times and places. Cameron
examines the connections between language and the
(mis)representation of reality, and the role language plays in
reproducing gender inequalities. More recent articles focus on
representations of men and women as communicators, as well as the
impact of sexuality on gender and gender relations, an increasingly
prominent area of the author's research.
This timely work brings much of Cameron's work together for the
first time, and highlights characteristics of that work with which
many readers will be familiar: a combination of linguistic and
feminist political orientation; and a distinct focus on conflict in
gender relations. Including a new introductory essay and eleven
articles, three of which are previously unpublished, with short
introductions to contextualize each piece, the collection will be
extremely useful to students and teachers on a variety of courses
including English Language and Linguistics, women's studies, gender
studies and communication studies.
