Description: "This book 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 database of gender terms from online thesauri to show how new technologies interact with gender categorizations in different languages, and how these are related to their respective culture and society."--BOOK JACKET.
