Abstract:

This wide-ranging volume explores how gender and language are used and
transformed to discuss, enact, and project social differences in light of
global economic and political changes in the late nineteenth, twentieth,
and early twenty-first centuries. It presents analyses of language and
gender from a broad spectrum of national contexts: Catalonia, Canada,
China, India, Japan, Nigeria, Vietnam, Philippines, Tonga, and the United
States. 

Cases studies consider language and gender in changing workplaces, schools
and immigrant integration work-shops, as well as in new and emerging sites
for consumption and the production of identity. They also analyze the
changing meanings of multilingualism, and the construction of ideologies
about gender and language in colonial and postcolonial/national ideologies.
The papers engage with and contribute to theoretical conceptualizations of
globalization, cosmopolitanism, (post)colonialism, (trans)nationalism, and
public spheres by drawing on a variety of sociolinguistic analytic
strategies (variation analysis, media analysis, interactional
sociolinguistics, ethnography of speaking, sociology of language, colonial
discourse analysis).
