Recenzje

"[This book] is a compelling analysis that I expect will hold a great deal of interest both to those whose focus is the connection between sociophonetics and pragmatics and to those whose interest lies in gender, masculinities, and normativity.” - Holly Cashman, University of New Hampshire, USA, Journal of Sociolinguistics
