Is language sexist? Do women and men speak different languages?

Gender, Language and Discourse uniquely examines the contribution that psychological research--in particular, discursive psychology--has made to answering these questions.

Until now, books on gender and language have tended to be from the sociolinguistic perspective and have focused on one of two issues--sexism in language or gender differences in speech. This book considers both issues and develops the idea that they shouldn't be viewed as mutually exclusive endeavors but rather as part of the same process--the social construction of gender.

The author highlights the fresh insights a social constructionist approach has made to debates about the significance of sexism in language and the exact nature of gender differences in language use.

The influence of the discursive turn on the field is highlighted--recent theoretical developments and empirical work in discursive psychology relevant to gender and language are presented and the different strands of discursive social psychology described.

Gender, Language and Discourse provides the most comprehensive and up-to-date discussion of the gender and language field from a psychological perspective. It will be invaluable to students and researchers in social psychology, cultural studies, education, linguistic anthropology and women's studies.
Industry Reviews
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
