Language, Sexuality, and Power: Studies in Intersectional
Sociolinguistics examines the diversity of sexuality as a social
and linguistic phenomenon. Bringing together work on Africa, Asia,
Europe, Latin America, North America and the Middle East, the
volume explores how different ideologies of what it means to belong
to a nation or culture influence how sexualities are both
understood and linguistically expressed in a range of global
locales. Contributions to the volume use experiments, discourse
analysis and different types of statistical tests to identify the
particular aspects of language - accent, grammar, vocabulary,
discourse - that are ideologically associated with sexuality in
specific contexts. Combining insights from linguistics,
anthropology, sociology and cultural studies, the essays describe
how individuals draw on these culturally-specific associations both
when evaluating the speech of others and in their everyday
presentations of self. Together, the eleven chapters in the
collection provide a wide-ranging and multi-method perspective on
how language mediates individual desires and larger social
structures. They also serve to demonstrate the diverse
interconnections between sexuality and other dimensions of lived
experience in a variety of previously under-explored national and
linguistic settings.
