Opis

Is language sexist? Do women and men speak different languages? Gender, Language and Discourse examines the contribution that psychological research - in particular, discursive psychology - has made to answering these questions.

Recenzje

Weatherall writes with a passion for her subject that engages the reader. The book provides an extraordinarily user-friendly account of the relationships between biology and discourse that make an invaluable contribution to psychology and gender scholarship. - Paula Nicolson, Reader in Health Psychology, ScHARR, University of Sheffield

This is a valuable text that is very detailed and thorough in its review of the multi-disciplinary study of gender and language and the contribution of psychology. By incorporating a feminist discursive approach, Weatherall shows directions for the study of gender and language to move forward and the challenges that face it. - Precilla Choi, Department of Social Sciences, Loughborough University
