<p>This volume aims to demonstrate that the centre/periphery tension
allows for a theory of gender understood as a power relationship
with implications for a political analysis of language structures,
language uses and linguistic resistances. All of the 12 chapters
included in this volume work on understudied languages such as
Moldovan, Lakota, Bajjika, Croatian, Hebrew, Arabic, Ciluba,
Cantonese, Cypriot Greek, Korean, Malaysian, Basque and Belarusian
and they all explore from the margins different dimensions of
social gender in grammar. The diversity of languages is reflected
in the range of theoretical frameworks (linguistic anthropology,
systemic functional linguistics, contrastive syntactical analysis
to name a few) used by the authors in order to apprehend the
fluidity of gender(-ed) language and identity, to highlight the
social constraints on daily discourse and to identify discourses
that resist gender norms. This book will be highly relevant for
students and researchers working on the interface of gender with
morpho-syntax, semantics, pragmatics and discourse analysis.</p>
