Description
Language, Gender and Pregnancy Loss is a scholarly examination of how language constructs and reflects gendered experiences of pregnancy loss. Beth Malory investigates the linguistic strategies, discourses, and communicative practices surrounding miscarriage and other forms of pregnancy loss, with particular attention to how gender shapes these narratives.
The book analyzes how individuals, particularly women, linguistically construct meaning around their experiences of pregnancy loss, including how they communicate grief, seek support, and navigate social responses. It explores the role of language in either marginalizing or validating these experiences within healthcare, family, and social contexts.
As part of the Elements in Language, Gender and Sexuality series published by Cambridge University Press, this work contributes to broader conversations about the intersection of linguistic analysis, gender studies, and reproductive experiences, offering insights relevant to sociolinguistics, gender studies, and health communication scholars.
