Language and Gender by Sara Mills

This volume examines important themes in the theoretical debates on the relationship of language and gender. It analyses this relationship across a range of different disciplinary perspectives from linguistics, literary theory, cultural studies and visual analysis. The focus of the book goes beyond an analysis of women's language to discuss the complexities of gendered language with chapters on lesbian poetics, the language of girls and boys and the relationship between gender and genre.

Sara Mills is a Research Professor in Linguistics at Sheffield Hallam University's English Department. Gender and Colonial Space (2004) and Gender and Politeness (Cambridge, 2003) are two of her most recent writings.
