The Feminist Perspectives Series seeks to provide concise,
accessible and engaging introductions to key feminist topics and
debates. The texts in the series are designed to be used on a wide
range of courses exploring feminist issues and are written by
experienced teachers who are also well known in their respective
fields. Each book in the series includes the most up-to-date
statistics, research data, key sources and suggestions for further
reading.Feminist Perspectives On Language provides an accessible
introduction to this complex area. It redresses the balance of
current feminist texts which tend to concentrate on discourse
analysis and fail to connect with feminist thought in other
disciplines such as sociology and politics. The text is divided
into two parts, the first looks at language itself, how we learn
language exploring such questions as; Does language free or trap
us? Does our language affect how we come to understand the world
around us? Is our language sexist? If so, does that reflect male
dominance in society? and many more issues. Part Two explores
questions of methodology and interpretation examining language in
use, communication styles and the analysis of conversation.
