Language, Sex and Social Structure offers a cutting edge,
empirically driven approach to critical discourse analysis,
challenging the text and language-based bias that most applications
of CDA adopt. Drawing upon rich conversational data collected
during a year-long ethnographic study of a community of practice (a
university-based sports team), it introduces a method for
uncovering nuanced correlations between homophobic attitudes and
the concepts and social structures that sustain these attitudes.
Situated within seminal work in discourse theory, practice theory,
relevance theory and sociolinguistics, it presents a fresh
perspective on recent debates in the field of language and
sexuality. The book provides a thorough critique of CDA together
with a new methodology for critically analysing discourse, one
which enables more sophisticated and contextualised analyses of
ethnographic data than current models allow. Through a rigorous and
insightful application of this methodology, it exposes subtle
variations on discourses of sexuality in a community and offers new
perspectives on the emancipatory potential of CDA.
