This volume presents a comprehensive introduction to the study of second
language learning, multilingualism and gender. An impressive array of
papers situated within a feminist poststructuralist framework
demonstrates how this framework allows for a deeper understanding of
second language learning, a number of language contact phenomena,
intercultural communication, and critical language pedagogy. The volume
has wide appeal to students and scholars in the fields of language and
gender, sociolinguistics, SLA, anthropology, and language education.
