Reviews / Votes
This book offers students a comprehensive account of the theories, methods and frameworks used in the field, applied usefully to illuminating case studies. Researching Language, Gender and Sexuality is essential reading for those developing their own research projects, but also an effective general introduction to the language, gender and sexuality.Lucy Jones, University of Nottingham, UK
This book will spark students' interest in language, gender and sexuality and provide them with invaluable guidance for their own research projects. Its pertinent discussion of theoretical and methodological issues in combination with fresh illustrations and an incorporation of recent research render it an excellent resource.
