gender and terms of address

[Claudia Bubel]

Dear Ana María

A recent article on gender and ToA is:

McConnell-Ginet, Sally. 2003. "What's in a name?" Social labeling and
gender practices. The handbook of language and gender, ed. by Janet Holmes
and Miriam Meyerhoff, 69-97. Oxford: Blackwell.

I am personally interested in the use of endearments amongst female
friends. Please let me know, if you come accross anything relating to this
topic.

Good luck with your research,

Claudia
