Title: Women, men, and language
First published: 1986
Description: "This third edition of Women, Men and Language provides an up-to-date account of gender differences in language to answer the question: 'Do women and men talk differently?'" "The book takes the reader from an initial 'men talk like this; women talk like that' approach to a more nuanced idea of women and men performing gender in their everyday interactions. It covers a range of sociolinguistic research, looking at grammatical and phonological features as well as at aspects of conversation such as compliments or swearing and the growing use of the word 'like' by younger speakers."--Jacket.
