Description

It has been more than three decades since the publication of Robin Lakoff's pioneering work on language and gender, Language and Women's Place (1975).  It seems timely and important to examine language and gender issues in a variety of cultures and language groups with new research questions.  This workshop will address general issues of language and gender with special attention to (1) language and inequalities between men and women, (2) politics, gender and conceptual metaphors and (3) politeness and languages of men and women.
