Language and heterosex.

[Jen Coates]

Dear Joshua

You could have a look at the recent volume Language, Sexualities, Desires ed Helen Saunston & Sakis Kyratzis, Palgrave 2007. I've got a chapter in there on the role of heterosexuality in the construction of hegemonic masculinity, and there is a range of other material which might be helpful.

Best wishes,

Jennifer Coates

Hi all,

I'm looking for language and sexuality research that considers linguistic constructions of heterosexuality - explicitly so, rather than as an unmarked aspect of language and gender research - and especially those that discuss the potential influences of heteronormativity.  I've come up with work by Cameron, Kiesling, Eckert, and Kitzinger as sources, but no one else comes to mind.  Could anyone suggest some good names or articles, or if a bibliography or lit review exists on the topic, point me towards that?

Thanks!

Joshua
