Innovations and Challenges: Women, Language and Sexism: Innovations and Challenges in Applied Linguistics
Editat de Carmen Rosa Caldas-Coultharden Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 mar 2020
- Takes a multi-stranded investigation into the linguistic and semiotic representations of sexism in societies from an applied linguistic and semiotic perspective;
- Combines critical discourse analysis, multimodality, interactional sociolinguistics and corpus methodologies to look at language, visuals and semiotic resources in the context of consumerist culture;
- Examines the conflicted position of women and the discourses of discrimination that still exist in every strand of modern societies;
- Contextualises pervasive gender issues and reviews key gender and language topics that changed the ways we interpret interaction from the early 1970s until the present;
- Focuses on institutional discourses and the questions of how women are excluded or discriminated against in the workplace, the law and educational contexts.

Recenzii
"A masterpiece of language and gender research, and a powerful political intervention in current times. Covering a broad geopolitical spectrum, and employing different theoretical and methodological approaches, this book is an indispensable read for everyone who wants to challenge sexism through intellectual and activist practices."
Tommaso M. Milani, University of Gothenburg and University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg
"Persuasive arguments for revisiting and reinterrogating the central questions for feminists in the 1960s, in relation to linguistically mediated violence, evaluating where progress has been made and where more nuanced contextualised work still needs to be done."
Sara Mills, Emeritus Research Professor in Linguistics at Sheffield Hallam University
"This collection focuses our attention on the continued verbal and structural violence that shapes and restricts women’s experience in the world. The chapters reflect critically on the political, social and interpersonal impact of sexism; they are eloquent in outlining ways in which the world could be different – and in articulating the factors that impede those changes."
Miriam Meyerhoff, Victoria University of Wellington
