This is the second of a three-volume comprehensive reference work on Gender across Languages, which provides systematic descriptions of various categories of gender (grammatical, lexical, referential, social) in 30 languages of diverse genetic, typological and socio-cultural backgrounds. Among the issues discussed for each language are the following: What are the structural properties of the language that have an impact on the relations between language and gender? What are the consequences for areas such as agreement, pronominalisation and word-formation? How is specification of and abstraction from (referential) gender achieved in a language? Is empirical evidence available for the assumption that masculine/male expressions are interpreted as generics? Can tendencies of variation and change be observed, and have alternatives been proposed for a more equal linguistic treatment of women and men? This volume (and the previous two volumes) will provide the much-needed basis for explicitly comparative analyses of gender across languages. All chapters are original contributions and follow a common general outline developed by the editors. The book contains rich bibliographical and indexical material.Languages of Volume 2: Chinese, Dutch, Finnish, Hindi, Icelandic, Italian, Norwegian, Spanish, Vietnamese, Welsh.

This is the fourth volume of a comprehensive reference work which provides systematic descriptions of the manifestations of gender in languages of diverse areal, typological and socio-cultural affiliations. To the 30 languages already analysed in previous volumes, Vol. 4 adds another 12 languages whose gendered structures have received little or no academic attention in the past. Again, the collection includes a broad spectrum of languages: It contains languages with and without grammatical gender, a language with noun classification and a classifier language; larger national languages as well as smaller languages with minority status; and, of course, members of diverse language families, i.e. Indo-European as well as Finno-Ugrian, Iroquois, Tai-Kadai and Niger-Congo. The volume illustrates the tremendous variation found in the area of gender representation across languages. At the same time, it will provide the much-needed material required for an explicitly comparative approach to linguistic manifestations of gender.

This volume aims to demonstrate that the centre/periphery tension allows for a theory of gender understood as a power relationship with implications for a political analysis of language structures, language uses and linguistic resistances. All of the 12 chapters included in this volume work on understudied languages such as Moldovan, Lakota, Cantonese, Bajjika, Croatian, Hebrew, Arabic, Ciluba, Cantonese, Cypriot Greek, Korean, Malaysian, Basque and Belarusian and they all explore from the margins different dimensions of social gender in grammar. The diversity of languages is reflected in the range of theoretical frameworks (linguistic anthropology, systemic functional linguistics, contrastive syntactical analysis to name a few) used by the authors in order to apprehend the fluidity of gender(-ed) language and identity, to highlight the social constraints on daily discourse and to identify discourses that resist gender norms. This book will be highly relevant for students and researchers working on the interface of gender with morpho-syntax, semantics, pragmatics and discourse analysis.

Gender, Language and New Literacy presents cross-cultural research on gender as it is lexically and socially categorized in electronic media. For the purposes of the study, the authors have compiled a corpus of gender terms from online thesauruses to show how new technologies interact with gender categorizations in different languages, and how these are related to their respective culture and society. Each language is examined within the same theoretical framework, functional semantics, focusing on lexicon. This common empirical ground facilitates cross-language comparison. The contributors examine languages from around the world, including the Indo-European, Semitic, Uralic and Austro-Asiatic families. This is a cutting-edge research book that will be of interest to academics working in the fields of corpus linguistics, and gender studies.

Examination Thesis from the year 2012 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Literature, Works, grade: 78/100, University of Southampton, language: English, abstract: Gender-specific speech in the English language Apparently women talk three times as much as men. This is something one half of the population has long suspected while the other half always vocally denied it. But what about the contents? Men and women are also believed to be unable to communicate, so do they really share the same language? Some say that this is not just a myth. It is a common belief that there lies truth in these legends of having different ways of expressing one's wants and needs. People have always been interested in the topic but since the late 20s century literature on the topic has started blooming. It is not only books that kept appearing and ended up on the best-seller lists, but also seminars were advertised, as well as telephone helplines and even dating websites are not a taboo anymore, all of them with the common aim of helping genders sort out their misunderstandings. In this paper I will focus on aspects and more precisely the differences in male and female talk to show how analysing speech acts can reveal hidden truths about the genders and their communication habits. As Deborah Cameron states in her book (2009) it is still a matter of research to know where the origins of language lie. At the same time arises the question of gender-related particularities within the language used by both sex. The latter also entails various theorists to argue upon the origin of language as originated in men (case bolstered by e.g. Crow,1998), while others believe that it first appeared in women (e.g. Dunbar,1996). Cameron also explains how language serves the purpose of creating and maintaining the cohesion within a social group. Therefore she refers to Robin Dunbar, who says that linguistic exchange plays the same role as grooming does for primates. With the increase in size of pre-historic human groups, language became necessary in order to exchange information and improve relationships between the members of the group. Language was born. Henceforth throughout history, language has evolved and can be analysed according to two categories: one which focusses on male language, the other one on female language.
