Abbreviation : Gend. Lang.
Aims & Scope
Gender and Language offers an international forum for language-based research on gender and sexuality from feminist, queer, and trans perspectives.
While there are many journals focused on gender and many journals focused on language, Gender and Language is currently the only academic journal to which scholars interested in the intersection of these dimensions can turn, whether as contributors looking for an audience sharing this focus or as readers seeking a reliable source for current discussions in the field.
The journal showcases research on the social analytics of gender in discourse domains that include institutions, media, politics and everyday interaction.
As a point of departure, Gender and Language defines gender along two key dimensions.
First, gender is a key element of social relationships that are often loosely linked to perceived differences between women and men.
Gender relations are ideologically encoded in linguistic and symbolic representations, normative concepts, institutions, social practices, and social identities.
Second, gender is a primary arena for articulating power in complex interaction with other dimensions of social difference and identity, such as class, race, ability, age, and sexuality.
Gender is understood as multi-faceted, always changing, and often contested.
The editors welcome discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of competing definitions of gender and of new analytical perspectives.
