Language and Gender : An Advanced Resource Book

"Routledge Applied Linguistics" is a series of comprehensive resource books, providing students and researchers with the support they need for advanced study in the core areas of English language and applied linguistics.

Each book in the series guides readers through three main sections, enabling them to explore and develop major themes within the discipline.

Section A, Introduction, establishes the key terms and concepts and extends readers' techniques of analysis through practical application.

Section B, Extension, brings together influential articles, sets them in context, and discusses their contribution to the field.

Section C, Exploration, builds on knowledge gained in the first two sections, setting thoughtful tasks around further illustrative material.

This enables readers to engage more actively with the subject matter and encourages them to develop their own research responses.

Throughout the book, topics are revisited, extended, interwoven and deconstructed, with the reader's understanding strengthened by tasks and follow-up questions. "Language and Gender": presents an up-to-date introduction to language and gender; includes diverse work from a range of cultural, including non-Western, contexts, and represents a range of methodological approaches; gathers together influential readings from key names in the discipline, including: Deborah Cameron, Mary Haas and Deborah Tannen.

Written by an experienced teacher and researcher in the field, "Language and Gender" is an essential resource for students and researchers of Applied Linguistics.
