Language, Gender, and Sex in Comparative Perspective (Studies in the Social and Cultural Foundations of Language, Series Number 4) - Softcover
Synopsis
The aim of this innovative volume is to analyze both the cultural and the biological sources of gender differences in language use. The first two parts of the volume focus on cultural variation in gender-differentiated language use, comparing Western English-speaking societies with others from elsewhere in the world. Part III examines the relationship between language and the brain, showing that although there are differences in males' and females' processing of language in the brain, these do not yield any gender differences in language use. Overall, the volume points to the greater salience of cultural processes over biological processes in the shaping of gender.

Condition: As New. : Este volumen innovador analiza el lenguaje y el género en un marco biocultural, examinando las fuentes culturales y biológicas de las diferencias de género en el lenguaje, así como la interacción entre ellas. Se compara las sociedades occidentales de habla inglesa con sociedades de otras partes del mundo. Los ensayos muestran que las diferencias de género están socialmente organizadas, aunque también plantean la posibilidad de que algunas similitudes interculturales en las formas en que hombres y mujeres usan el lenguaje puedan estar relacionadas con diferencias sexuales en la constitución física y emocional. Los ensayos revelan una gran diversidad en la construcción cultural del género a través del lenguaje y muestran explícitamente que, si bien existe alguna evidencia de la influencia de las diferencias sexuales de base biológica en el lenguaje de mujeres y hombres, la influencia de la cultura es mucho mayor.
