Hello there!

I'm Ken Brewer from Ireland. I'm an MA student at University College, Cork,
doing Applied Linguistics. And I would very much welcome any words of
advice etc by way of picking the brains of all you good and kind linguist
folk.

I am about to embark on the task of compiling a 15,000-word thesis on
sexism in the English language. I want to test foreign speakers'
sensitivity to sexism in English to native speakers' sensitivity to the
same. And what I'd really like to know is, does anybody out there know of
any similar research which has been done in this area???

Many thanks.

Sincerely,

Ken Brewer
