*/Gender, Language and the Periphery. Grammatical and Social Gender from
the Margins/
*Edited by Julie Abbou and Fabienne H. Baider
John Benjamins, 2016

This volume aims to demonstrate that the centre/periphery tension allows
for a theory of gender understood as a power relationship with
implications for a political analysis of language structures, language
uses and linguistic resistances. All of the 12 chapters included in this
volume work on understudied languages such as Moldovan, Lakota,
Cantonese, Bajjika, Croatian, Hebrew, Arabic, Ciluba, Cantonese, Cypriot
Greek, Korean, Malaysian, Basque and Belarusian and they all explore
from the margins different dimensions of social gender in grammar. The
diversity of languages is reflected in the range of theoretical
frameworks (linguistic anthropology, systemic functional linguistics,
contrastive syntactical analysis to name a few) used by the authors in
order to apprehend the fluidity of gender(-ed) language and identity, to
highlight the social constraints on daily discourse and to identify
discourses that resist gender norms. This book will be highly relevant
for students and researchers working on the interface of gender with
morpho-syntax, semantics, pragmatics and discourse analysis.
