We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Hello, 

I am doing a study on gender roles, sexuality, and the internet, 
focusing on a culture that has come to exist on-line on the website 
'4chan.' I am looking for good resources on the relationships between 
sex, gender, sexuality, and language, as well as information on what 
these things look like off-line, so that I may compare on-line gender 
norms to off-line gender norms.

I'm already aware of and making use of work by Durham, Eckert, 
Goddard, Fausto-Sterling, Tannen, and Lakoff, but any other scholarly 
works on the subject would be appreciated as they will allow me a 
better view of both how these things are constructed off-line, and how 
to best analyse the discussions I'm finding on-line. I'd appreciate 
direction to anything in the field.

Thank you in advance for your time,

James Davis
