From slut-shaming to the allegedly shrill voices of female
politicians, from vocal fry to online misogyny, the language women
use (and the language used about them) is as controversial as it
has ever been. Our language use and our gender have an enormous
impact on the way we understand ourselves and the world around us,
and the way we are treated by society. Using the latest academic
research, Allyson Jule tackles some of the most pressing issues
facing feminism today, including how language use and related ideas
about gender play out in the home, workplace and online. It turns
out that many popular ideas about gender and language are more
complicated than they first appear. This book will change the way
you think about language, and give you the tools to challenge the
world around you.
In this revised and updated 2nd edition of her pioneering textbook,
Allyson Jule offers fresh insights into the study of language and
gender for those new to the subject. Students will gain a thorough
grounding in theoretical and practical perspectives on gender and
language in the workplace, media, school, religion and domestic
settings. Updates to the 2nd edition include discussion of:
language and rape culture; LGBTQ terminology; language and social
media; gaming; eco-feminism; and language, gender and Islam. The
book is an ideal introductory text for courses specifically focused
on language and gender, as well as those where an understanding of
these issues would be helpful. Written in an engaging and
reader-friendly style, with study questions, suggestions for
further reading and a glossary, this book is the ideal starting
point for students wishing to understand how language and gender
interact in the modern world.
