Recenzii

`The articles... are well presented and arranged into thematic groups... There are also several articles which stand out and will make Gender and Discourse worth buying for those who specialize in gender studies and discourse analysis.... Deborah Cameron's [chapter] is an excellent article with which to open the collection. The broad scope of theoretical issues addressed here provides an intelligent and accessible introduction to some of the central debates in contemporary feminist linguistics.... [the book] is a carefully balanced volume in which potentially conflicting agendas have been skilfuly united around a common context-based approach to discourse.... should prove to be a useful source book either for independent research or to support guided undergraduate study' - Language and Literature

`Ruth Wodak has done a service to all readers interested in language and gender by uniting in a single volume some exciting new papers by most of the world's leading
researchers in the field. A strength of the book is the wide range of ideological,
methodological and theoretical approaches which the authors adopt, which produces
a kind of treasure trove of current work in feminist linguistics. The common theme
that emerges from the papers is that we cannot properly understand language and
gender without integrating into our studies the communicative contexts of discourse' - Jenny Cheshire, University of London
'treasure trove of current work in
feminist linguistics' - Jenny Cheshire,
University of London

`Gender and Discourse is an insightful and thought provoking volume, which addresses itself to some of the most recent areas of theorizing and research in the field.
