Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:"Gender Articulated" is a groundbreaking work of sociolinguistics that forges connections between language-related fields and feminist theory. Refuting apolitical, essentialist perspectives on language and gender, the essays presented here examine a range of cultures, languages and settings. They explicitly connect feminist theory to language research.
Some of the most distinguished scholars working in the field of language and gender today discuss such topics as Japanese women's appropriation of "men's language," the literary representation of lesbian discourse, the silencing of women on the Internet, cultural mediation and Spanish use at New Mexican weddings and the uses of silence in the Anita Hill-Clarence Thomas hearings. Book News Annotation:Twenty-three scholars in anthropology, linguistics, and literature
continue the work initiated by Robin Lakoff in the area of gender and
language. The essays are timely and disseminate cultural power
positions through studies of the Anita Hill-Clarence Thomas hearing,
teenage magazines, and male resistance to female participation on the
internet. The anthropologic contributions observe Butch/Femme speech
patterns, contemporary slang, and "feminine" Japanese speech, as well
as emerging discourses from African American Women and Latinas.
