Language and Masculinity

Feminist linguistics has come of age. Yet, in more than two decades of research, male speaking patterns have largely been taken for granted. This is the first extensive account of men's language - of male ways of speaking and of language in the construction of masculinity.

Sally Johnson is Lecturer in German Language and Linguistics at Lancaster University. Ulrike Hanna Meinhof is Professor of Cultrual Studies in the Department of Modern Languages at Bradford University.
