Positioning Gender in Discourse A Feminist Methodology

Positioning Gender in Discourse offers a newly emerging approach to the study of spoken discourse. Feminist post-structuralist discourse analysis has particular relevance to analyzing the significance of gender in relation to the competing and intertextualized ways in which speakers construct their identities and their relationships through talk. This book gives readers a full account of the methodology through a study of teenagers' conversations in class, and a study of managers' discussions in team meetings.
