What is men's talk like? If the stereotypes are to be believed,
either men are the strong and silent type or they talk compulsively
and competitively about sport, cars and drinking exploits. Are
these stereotypes accurate? Do men talk differently when they are
with other men rather than in mixed company? And does all-male talk
differ from all-female talk?
Men Talk draws on rich conversational material from a wide range
of contexts to answer these questions and illuminate our
understanding of men and masculinities at the turn of the
millennium. Coates examines spontaneous conversations involving
all-male groups ranging from garage mechanics on a break, to
carpenters at the pub after work, to university academics chatting
at work after hours, as well as a variety of mixed groups. The
focus of the book is the stories that occur within these
conversations.
"Men Talk" makes a distinctive contribution to our understanding
of the intersection of language and masculinity.
