Language, the Sexes and Society

Informationen zum Autor Philip M. Smith is Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of British Columbia. Klappentext Recent research has set out clearly enough how men and women use language in different ways. But this research has frequently failed to identify the social, psychological and linguistic processes that underlie sex differences in language. Philip Smith adopts here a completely fresh approach. In studying the various roles that language, speech and communication play in relations between the sexes, he identifies and illuminates the processes involved- such as stereotyping, social categorization and discrimination. Zusammenfassung An attempt to bring the different strands of language and sex issues into a single psychological framework. Inhaltsverzeichnis Editor's Preface. Acknowledgements. 1.
