This diverse collection of gender research with an exclusive focus on spoken interaction explores how gender is reflected and accomplished in relation to other situational and larger-scale sociocultural practices, identities and structures.

Reviews

'...a timely and much welcomed addition to the growing field of language and gender, offering invaluable insights into the relationship between gender and spoken discourse. It is a valuable collection for researchers and postgraduate students who want to get a sense of where language and gender research is heading... [A] strength of this volume is that all articles are written in a clear, accessible and engaging style. I would highly recommend the book to researchers working in the areas of language and gender, discourse analysis, pragmatics, sociolinguistics, and language and social interaction.' - Chit Cheung Matthew Sung, Discourse & Commuication

'[This book]offers rich insights into the expanding linguistic subfield of gender and spoken interaction...it is a great contribution that provides the reader with a better understanding of and deep insights into how gender is (re-)produced in spoken interaction across the lifespan.' - Pia Resnik, Rezensionen
