Abstract:

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.
