Summary:

Gender and Spoken Interaction presents a diverse collection of gender
research with an exclusive focus on spoken interaction. It explores how
gender is reflected and accomplished in relation to other situational and
larger-scale sociocultural practices, identities and structures.
Contributors present a wide range of lively data from private as well as
institutional contexts, produced by speakers across all life stages and
different ethnic, social, national and linguistic backgrounds, including
British Asian undergraduates, New Zealand company directors, and Austrian
Jewish refugees.
