Routledge Innovations and Challenges: Women, Language and Sexism

Explore the complex relationship between discourse and gender in Innovations and Challenges: Women, Language and Sexism. Part of the Innovations and Challenges in Applied Linguistics series, this book brings together an outstanding collection of essays from internationally recognised researchers. This work recontextualises questions raised by feminist thinkers 40 years ago to address contemporary issues. By focusing on linguistically mediated violence as a central topic, the collection explores the different and subtle ways sexism and violence are materialised in discursive practices. It provides a multi-stranded investigation into the linguistic and semiotic representations of sexism in societies, making it an essential resource for students and researchers in applied linguistics and gender studies.
