Description
Gender in World Englishes provides an in-depth analysis of how gender influences language use across different English varieties around the globe. Tobias Bernaisch investigates the complex relationship between gender identity and linguistic variation in English-speaking communities, considering both traditional gender categories and contemporary understandings of gender expression.
The book draws on empirical research and real-world examples to demonstrate how speakers across various regions employ different linguistic strategies based on gender. It addresses phonological, lexical, and syntactic patterns while examining sociolinguistic factors that shape gendered language use. This work is essential for scholars studying world Englishes, sociolinguistics, and gender studies, offering valuable insights into how language reflects and constructs gender identities in global contexts.
