This original and intriguing collection explores the pressures
exerted upon language in the expression of romantic and sexual
desire. Simultaneously, it reveals the ways in which language
itself exerts its own constraints on the subject's capacity to
express desire. The contributors, while using the approaches and
methods of empirical linguistics, engage directly with issues of
relevance in gender studies and cultural studies. They examine and
probe: * language used to mediate romantic and sexual desire *
language used by the media to represent intimacy and desire *
attitudes and assumptions about romantic and sexual desire embodied
in English * implications for the construction of romantic and
sexual identity
