Abstract:

Language, Sexuality, and Power: Studies in Intersectional Sociolinguistics
examines the diversity of sexuality as a social and linguistic phenomenon.
Bringing together work on Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, North America
and the Middle East, the volume explores how different ideologies of what it
means to belong to a nation or culture influence how sexualities are both
understood and linguistically expressed in a range of global locales. 

Contributions to the volume use experiments, discourse analysis and different
types of statistical tests to identify the particular aspects of language -
accent, grammar, vocabulary, discourse - that are ideologically associated
with sexuality in specific contexts. Combining insights from linguistics,
anthropology, sociology and cultural studies, the essays describe how
individuals draw on these culturally-specific associations both when
evaluating the speech of others and in their everyday presentations of self.
Together, the eleven chapters in the collection provide a wide-ranging and
multi-method perspective on how language mediates individual desires and
larger social structures. They also serve to demonstrate the diverse
interconnections between sexuality and other dimensions of lived experience in
a variety of previously under-explored national and linguistic settings.
