Reviews for A Beginner´s Guide to Language and Gender
The second edition of Allyson Jule's A Beginner's Guide to Language and Gender is an excellent introduction to the field. Sophisticated in its concepts, while being very clear in its writing, it is as comprehensive as an introductory text can be. And it is thoroughly up-to-date, including coverage of new technology, sexuality, and transgenderism.
