| Summary: | Significantly expanded and updated, the second edition of The Handbook of Language, Gender and Sexuality brings together a team of the leading specialists in the field to create a comprehensive overview of key historical themes and issues, along with methodologies and cutting-edge research topics. It examines the dynamic ways that women and men develop and manage gendered identities through their talk, presenting data and case studies from interactions in a range of social contexts and different communities. The book includes new chapters on research in non-English speaking countries - from Asia to South America - and topics such as language, gender, and popular culture; language and sexual identities; and language, gender, and socio-phonetics. It is also extended by new sections focusing on key themes and issues in the field, such as methodological approaches to language and gender, incorporating new chapters on conversation analysis, critical discourse analysis, corpus linguistics, and variation theory.
