This engaging handbook by Allyson Jule shows that Gender and Language is equally about our personal and lived experience as it is about different scholarly perspectives and theories. It shows that acting out our lives as gendered people implicates all aspects of our selves: as students, partners, parents, workers, friends, worshippers, entertainers and consumers of culture. The book provides a guide through the subject s historical origins, key theoretical perspectives and latest thinking in the field. It also invites readers to consider how gender and language influences education, the workplace, the media, religion and a range of interpersonal and social contexts.--Dr. Judith Baxter, Department of Applied Linguistics, University of Reading, UK
