Abstract:

Gender and Language in Sub-Saharan Africa: Tradition, Struggle and Change is
the first book to bring together the topics of language and gender, African
languages, and gender in African contexts, and it does so in a descriptive,
explanatory and critical way. Including fascinating new work and new, often
challenging data from Botswana, Chad, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa,
this collection looks at some ‘traditional’ uses of language in relation to
the gender of its speakers and the gendered nature of the languages
themselves; it also identifies and explores social change in terms of both
gender and sexuality, as reflected in and constructed by language and
discourse. The contributions to this volume are accessibly written and will be
of interest to students and established academics working on African
sociolinguistics and discourse, as well as those whose interest is language,
gender and sexuality.
 



Linguistic Field(s): Sociolinguistics
