Abstract:

How do women and men from around the world really speak English? Using
examples from World Englishes in Africa, America, Asia, Britain and the
Caribbean, this book explores the degree of variation based on gender, in
native-, second- and foreign-language varieties. Each chapter is rooted in a
particular set of linguistic corpora, and combines authentic records of
speakers with state-of-the-art statistical modelling. It gives empirically
reliable evaluations of the impact of gender on linguistic choices in the
context of other (socio-)linguistic factors, such as age or speaker status,
under consideration of local social realities. It analyses linguistic
phenomena traditionally associated with genderlectal research, such as hedges,
intensifiers or quotatives, as well as those associated with World Englishes,
like the dative or genitive alternation. A truly innovative approach to the
subject, this book is essential reading for researchers and advanced students
with an interest in language, gender and World Englishes.
