Gender and Discourse
Linguistics professor Tannen (You Just Don't Understand: Women and Men in Conversation, LJ 4/1/92) presents five previously published theoretical essays, each revised and introduced for the specialist and accompanied by notes and references. An introduction describes her research methods and conflicts surrounding interdisciplinary gender studies. Included is a study that was crucial in motivating her to study gender and language further. This is not a mere working over of earlier papers but a useful thematic compilation for larger public and all academic libraries.Helen Rippier Wheeler, formerly with the Univ. of California at Berkeley, SLISCopyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to theHardcoveredition.
