Thanks to all who replied with suggestions for research focusing on language and heterosexuality.  Attached is a sum of the recommended texts and an alternative suggestion for research in this area.

Coates, Jennifer. Chapter in Language, Sexualities, Desires ed Helen Saunston & Sakis Kyratzis, Palgrave 2007.

BRAZILIAN SCHOOL: MULTIPLE POSITIONINGS IN ORAL NARRATIVES. In: Anna de 
Finna; Deborah Schiffrin; Michael Bamberg. (Org.). Discourse and Identity. 
CAMBRIDGE: CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS, 2006, v. , p. 288-313.

Walker, Rachel. (2004), "Queer"ing identiy/ies: Agency and subversion in Canadian education. The Canadian Online Journal of Queer Studies in Education, 1 (1). 

Check out Arnold Zwicky and Rudolf Gaudio - they operate on the assumption that gay speech can be characterised as <i>divergence</i> from a straight male heteronormative linguistic pattern rather than as a linguistic pattern per se.


All best,

Joshua
