This book explores multiple facets of femininity for marriage in
India. Using language as an entry point, it looks at how and why
media representations of gender identities are constructed the way
they are. It works with a unique synthesis of second-wave feminist
discourse and empirical linguistic research to look at how the
social institution of marriage becomes the site of interaction
between language, ideology, psyche and culture. This volume also
brings together the personal histories and views of women who
discuss how media, modernity and social norms shape their ideas
about marriage and selfhood. Deconstructing perceptions of
femininity in contemporary India, the book will be of great
interest to scholars and researchers of sociology, gender studies,
linguistics, media and cultural studies and psychoanalysis.

This book presents a unique understanding of the interdependence
between language and psychology and how one's speech is shaped by
and in turn shapes one's thoughts, beliefs, and emotions. Drawing
on the tenets of discourse analysis and psychology, it presents a
comprehensive guide to a new and burgeoning area in linguistics and
critical theory. The volume focusses on individual and group
behaviour to show how identity formation is as much dependent on
the psychological state as on social surroundings and context. It
introduces various concepts from the sociocognitive framework,
discursive and critical psychology, highlighting the myriad ways of
approaching the complex interface between text, sociocultural
factors, and cognitive processes. An indispensable guide to the
complex world of language and the unconscious, the volume will be
of interest to students and scholars of linguistics, applied
linguistics, sociolinguistics, psychology and behavioural science,
language, and critical theory. It is also a must-read for the
general reader interested in language, communication, and social
intelligence.
