How do women and men from around the world really speak English?
Using examples from World Englishes in Africa, America, Asia,
Britain and the Caribbean, this book explores the degree of
variation based on gender, in native-, second- and foreign-language
varieties. Each chapter is rooted in a particular set of linguistic
corpora, and combines authentic records of speakers with
state-of-the-art statistical modelling. It gives empirically
reliable evaluations of the impact of gender on linguistic choices
in the context of other (socio-)linguistic factors, such as age or
speaker status, under consideration of local social realities. It
analyses linguistic phenomena traditionally associated with
genderlectal research, such as hedges, intensifiers or quotatives,
as well as those associated with World Englishes, like the dative
or genitive alternation. A truly innovative approach to the
subject, this book is essential reading for researchers and
advanced students with an interest in language, gender and World
Englishes.
