Abstract:

The study presented in this book explores the cultural models of
GENDER and HOMOSEXUALITY in Indian and Nigerian English, drawing on
the research fields of Cultural Linguistics, Cognitive
Sociolinguistics and World Englishes. With the help of different
methodologies and empirical data in the form of sociolinguistic
interviews, multimodal film material and an online survey, the study
scrutinises cultural conceptualisations such as culture-specific
conceptual metaphors or schemas and shows how they combine to larger,
interconnected cultural models, which provide speakers with a
conceptual logic for understanding and interpreting gender and
homosexuality. The book further provides visualizations of these
cultural models in the form of complex network representations. This
scholarly work caters to readers interested in the culturally oriented
strands of Cognitive Linguistics, in sociolinguistics, in World
Englishes research and in questions on language, gender and
homosexuality. It offers valuable insights into the intricate
connections between language, culture and cognition.
