Description

"Talking Difference" is a re-evaluation of current wisdom - both academic and popular - about men's and women's language. Mary Crawford critically assesses the abundant social science research of recent years, and its representation in the mass media, from talk shows to self-help books. Why has the study of gender and language so often focused on the limitations of women's talk? How do academic practices constrain our understanding of how gender relations are re-created and maintained in language use? Why do assertiveness texts usually ignore indirect modes of speech such as humour and storytelling? Addressing such questions, the book offers a new understanding of the role of language practices in both maintaining and disrupting gender inequality. It will be interesting reading for students and lecturers in psychology, women's studies, socio-linguistics and communication studies.
