Description: Innovations and Challenges: Women Language and Sexism brings together an outstanding collection of essays from internationally recognised researchers to recontextualise some of the questions raised by feminist thinkers 40 years ago. By taking linguistically mediated violence as a central topic this collection's main objective is to explore the different and subtle ways sexism and violence are materialised in discursive practices. In doing so this book: 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. Innovations and Challenges: Women Language and Sexism revisits the initial questions posed by the first feminist linguists where when and how are women discriminated against and why in postmodern societies is there so much sexism in all realms of social life? This book is essential reading for those studying and researching gender across a wide range of disciplines.
