<p class="MsoNormal">Dear all,<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I wanted to announce the publication of a new book that may be of interest to list members:<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Language, Sexuality and Power: Studies in Intersectional Sociolinguistics</b>
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Edited by Erez Levon and Ronald Beline Mendes. Oxford University Press (Studies in Language, Gender and Sexuality).<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>Language, Sexuality, and Power: Studies in Intersectional Sociolinguistics examines the diversity of sexuality as a social and linguistic phenomenon. Bringing together work on Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, North America and the
Middle East, the volume explores how different ideologies of what it means to belong to a nation or culture influence how sexualities are both understood and linguistically expressed in a range of global locales.<u></u><u></u></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><u></u> <u></u></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>Contributions to the volume use experiments, discourse analysis and different types of statistical tests to identify the particular aspects of language - accent, grammar, vocabulary, discourse - that are ideologically associated with
sexuality in specific contexts. Combining insights from linguistics, anthropology, sociology and cultural studies, the essays describe how individuals draw on these culturally-specific associations both when evaluating the speech of others and in their everyday
presentations of self. Together, the eleven chapters in the collection provide a wide-ranging and multi-method perspective on how language mediates individual desires and larger social structures. They also serve to demonstrate the diverse interconnections
between sexuality and other dimensions of lived experience in a variety of previously under-explored national and linguistic settings.<u></u><u></u></i></p>
